Exploring the Ethical Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Decision-Making

Project Abstract

In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has significantly impacted various aspects of society, particularly in the realm of decision-making processes. This research project aims to explore the ethical implications associated with the integration of AI in decision-making contexts. The study focuses on understanding the potential ethical dilemmas that arise when AI systems are utilized to assist or replace human decision-makers in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, and criminal justice. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical analysis, this research seeks to identify and analyze key ethical considerations that arise when AI technologies are integrated into decision-making processes, as well as the implications for individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
