Combining theory with practical perspectives from diverse disciplines, this volume provides a wide-ranging exploration of AI ethics across healthcare, education, military operations, and more. As AI technology advances rapidly, ethical dilemmas become increasingly complex and multifaceted. This book uniquely addresses these challenges by bringing together cutting-edge research from philosophy, law, computer science, sociology, and psychology to offer a holistic understanding of AI ethics. Divided into five parts, Part I, focused on moral reasoning, sets the stage by delving into the philosophical foundations necessary for understanding AI ethics. Chapters on recalibrating AI ethics, deskilling moral reasoning, and principles of care provide a robust theoretical framework. Parts II to IV address the practical applications of AI ethics in healthcare; wider societal contexts, from art to warfare; and education and business. The diverse expertise brought by an international team of leading and emerging scholars provides a rich and nuanced examination of timely issues including AI and mental health and algorithmic injustices. The final part then attends to AI safety, assessing the infeasibility of accurately monitoring advanced AI systems and the urgent safety, and ethical, considerations this necessitates. Using real-word case studies throughout, such as prompt tests for algorithmic racism in ChatGBT 3.5, AI Ethics Explored is essential reading for anyone seeking a better understanding of the complicated ethical issues we all face and will continue to face as artificial technology evolves.
