dc.description.abstract | The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies raises critical ethical concerns, particularly regarding fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability. This review synthesizes current research to identify key ethical challenges and propose strategies for responsible AI development. A systematic literature review was conducted, examining peer-reviewed articles, reports, and policy documents. The review focused on recurring themes such as data bias, privacy concerns, accountability, and transparency, using thematic synthesis to integrate findings. The review identified several critical ethical challenges in AI, including inherent biases in training data, difficulties in ensuring accountability, and the tension between maximizing innovation and safeguarding human rights. It was found that existing guidelines vary significantly in scope and effectiveness, often lacking in operationalization and real-world impact assessment. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of inclusive governance and stakeholder participation in addressing these challenges. The findings emphasize that technical solutions alone are insufficient to address AI ethics; social and governance responses are also necessary. The review advocates for a comprehensive approach to AI ethics, focusing on transparency, responsibility, and human-centered design. It calls for the development of adaptable frameworks that align AI technologies with societal values and ensure their ethical deployment. | en_US |
