What is ethics?
Ethics is a set of moral principles governing a person’s behavior or actions, the principles of right and wrong generally accepted by an individual or a social group. Or as my mom used to say, “Ethics is what you do when no one is watching.”
Ethics refers to principles and values guiding our behavior in different contexts, such as personal relationships, work environments, and society. Ethics encompasses what society considers morally right and wrong and dictates that we act accordingly.
Concerning AI, ethics refers to the principles and values that guide the development, deployment, and management of AI-based products and services. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, AI ethical considerations are becoming increasingly important to ensure that AI technologies are fair, transparent, and responsible.
We will dive deep into the topic of AI ethics in Chapter 8.
