    Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Ethics, Norms.
    AI technologies are not inherently ethical or unethical.
    I. INTRODUCTION The ethical implications depend on how AI is designed,
    developed, and applied. AI can positively affect society by

    be lurking in the dark. Or you could just turn on the light to
    avoid bumping into the furniture” [3].

    There are several ethical concerns associated with AI.


    One of the main concerns is the potential impact of AI on
    employment. As AI systems become more advanced, they
    may replace human workers, which could lead to mass
    unemployment. Therefore, employees perceive AI as
    threatening their job security rather than as a tool that can
    improve their productivity. This can be combated by
    addressing the risks of AI and refocusing on the people who
    will use it, emphasizing the benefits and assuaging any fears.
    By doing this, businesses can ensure that their employees are
    comfortable and confident in using artificial intelligence,
    enabling them to reap the benefits of its implementation [2].

    Additionally, privacy and surveillance of information


    Fig 1: How AI works [6] technology are other ethical considerations in the development
    of AI. Due to technological advancements in AI, the amount

    The increase in AI dependency raised concerns about the Another critical ethical concern is the bias or lack of
    control that organizations can have over their machines' fairness in some AI systems. AI systems are only as moral as
    decisions. This issue is also related to the need to ensure that the data they are trained on, and if the data is biased, then the

    responsibility will fall upon it [1].

    when designing, selecting, and developing AI systems, it is
    essential to ensure fair, non-bias, non-discriminatory, and
    objective standards inclusive, diverse, and representative of all
    or targeted segments of society. [9]

    AI increases the potential for intelligent data collection


    and opportunities for data analysis. Moreover, controlling who
    collects which data and who has access to it is much more
    complicated than in the analog world of paper and telephone
    calls. With the advent of AI, businesses can collect and
    analyze data more efficiently and precisely than ever, making
    more informed decisions and gaining a competitive edge [4].

    III. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSUES THEORY

    The ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in


    surveillance extend far beyond data collection and focus
    direction. They include using the information to manipulate
    behavior that undermines an individual's capacity for
    autonomous rational decision-making.

    In addition to ethical considerations, there are also norms Fig 2: How AI Detectives are cracking open the black box of
    of AI that must be considered. These norms include principles deep learning [8]
    such as transparency, accountability, and fairness.
    Many AI systems rely on machine learning techniques to

    processes should be clear and easy to understand. the data the system has used.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    AI raised fundamental questions about what we should


    safeguard these systems, what they should be capable of, and
    what potential risks they may pose in the long run. I strongly
    advocate maximizing the utilization of AI. Nevertheless, end
    users must understand how it works and which behaviors are
    most effective in leveraging it.

    Workforces and other stakeholders must be empowered
    to take personal responsibility for the consequences of their
    utilization of AI and be provided with the necessary support to
    do so. Not only must they possess the technical skills to
    construct or utilize it, but they must also comprehend the
    potential ethical implications it may have.

    In conclusion, the ethics and norms of AI are complex


    and multi-layered issues that must be cautiously considered as
    AI continues to advance. It is essential that we develop AI in a
    way that is safe, fair, and beneficial for society as a whole.
    Companies must strive to enhance AI communication
    strategies to foster a sense of inclusion and collaboration
    among people rather than leaving them feeling like passive
    recipients or even victims of the technology. By doing so, they
    can ensure that everyone is actively developing and utilizing
    AI.
