Ethical Dimensions of
Artificial Intelligence
(AI)
•What is AI Ethics? AI ethics deals with the
moral principles guiding the design and use of
artificial intelligence.
•Why is it Important? Ensures AI systems
are fair, transparent, and beneficial to
humanity.
•Example: ChatGPT responsibly generating
responses.
Bias in AI
• (+) Problem: AI can inherit biases from training data, leading to unfair
decisions.
• (+) Example: Facial recognition systems misidentifying certain demographics.
• (+) Solution: Diverse datasets and constant auditing.

Privacy Concerns
• Issue: AI systems collect massive personal data,
raising privacy issues.
• Example: AI-driven targeted advertising.
• Solution: Stronger data protection laws like GDPR.

ethical Use in Autonomous
Systems
• Context: Self-driving cars and drones making life-critical decisions.
• Issue: Who is responsible for accidents caused by autonomous AI?
• Solution: Clear ethical frameworks and accountability laws.

Misinformation and Deepfakes
• Threat: AI-generated content like deepfakes spreading false information.
• Example: Political videos misleading voters.
• Solution: AI-based detection tools and public awareness campaigns.
• Image Suggestion: Real vs fake image comparison.

Environmental Impact
• Problem: High energy consumption in training AI models.
• Example: Training a large model like GPT-3 emits as much CO2 as five cars.
• Solution: Green AI initiatives and energy-efficient models.
