Fundamental Rights and New Technologies

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of contemporary society prompts a critical exploration of the ethical considerations that underpin its development and deployment. This comprehensive discussion navigates the multifaceted relationship between AI and ethics, emphasizing principles such as transparency, fairness, accountability, and privacy as foundational pillars. Examining the challenges and opportunities inherent in this intersection, the abstract delves into the need for transparency in algorithmic decision-making, the continuous strive for fairness and mitigation of biases, and the importance of accountability throughout the AI lifecycle. Human-centric design emerges as a guiding principle, ensuring that AI technologies enhance human experiences while respecting individual autonomy. The abstract also underscores the significance of informed consent, collaboration across diverse disciplines, and educational empowerment in fostering ethical AI practices. Finally, it posits that the ethical exploration of AI is an ongoing journey, requiring a commitment to progress ethically, embrace responsibility, and contribute collectively to an AI future aligned with the highest aspirations of humanity.
