Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has rapidly advanced in recent years, raising important ethical questions about its impact on society. This thesis explores the moral implications of AI technology, focusing on the ethical considerations that arise from the development and deployment of AI systems. The study delves into the ethical frameworks that can guide the design and use of AI, considering issues such as transparency, accountability, bias, and privacy. Through an in-depth analysis of current literature and case studies, the thesis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ethical challenges posed by AI technology. Chapter One provides an introduction to the topic, discussing the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and key definitions. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review, examining ten key issues related to the ethics of AI technology. These issues include algorithmic bias, autonomous decision-making, data privacy, and the impact of AI on employment. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in the study, detailing the approach, research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations in conducting research on AI ethics. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, offering an in-depth analysis of the ethical implications of AI technology. The chapter explores case studies and real-world examples to illustrate the ethical dilemmas faced in the development and deployment of AI systems. The discussion covers the role of policymakers, industry stakeholders, and society in addressing these ethical challenges. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings and implications of the study. The chapter reflects on the ethical frameworks proposed in the research and offers recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working in the field of AI ethics. The thesis concludes with a call for a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to address the moral implications of AI technology. Overall, this thesis contributes to the ongoing discourse on the ethics of artificial intelligence, shedding light on the complex ethical considerations that arise from the rapid advancement of AI technology. The study underscores the importance of ethical reflection and responsible innovation in shaping the future development of AI systems for the benefit of society.
