Description

"Ethics refers to systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior (Fieser, n.d.). In the context of AI, ethical concerns refer to the moral obligations and duties of an AI application and its creators (Siau & Wang, 2020). Table 1 presents the key ethical challenges and issues associated with generative AI. These challenges include harmful or inappropriate content, bias, over-reliance, misuse, privacy and security, and the widening of the digital divide."
