Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is advancing rapidly, leading to its widespread adoption across various sectors. As AI becomes more integrated into society, ethical considerations surrounding its development and implementation are of paramount importance. This thesis explores the ethical implications of AI technology, focusing on the moral dilemmas that arise from its use. The objective of this research is to critically analyze the ethical challenges posed by AI and propose guidelines for responsible AI development and deployment. Chapter One provides an introduction to the topic, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review that examines existing research on the ethical aspects of AI technology. The review covers ten key areas, including AI ethics frameworks, accountability, bias and fairness, privacy concerns, autonomy and decision-making, job displacement, societal impact, transparency, security, and the role of regulation. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations in conducting research on AI ethics and outlines how the findings will be interpreted and validated. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, highlighting the key ethical implications of AI development and implementation. The chapter analyzes the moral challenges associated with AI, such as algorithmic bias, privacy violations, job displacement, and the potential for autonomous decision-making. It also explores the societal impact of AI technology and the need for ethical guidelines to govern its use. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings and implications of the research. The chapter discusses the importance of ethical considerations in AI development and implementation and proposes recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to promote responsible AI innovation. This thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on AI ethics and provides insights into the moral implications of AI technology for society. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the critical importance of ethical considerations in the development and deployment of AI technology. By examining the moral implications of AI, this research aims to foster a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges posed by AI and advocate for responsible AI innovation that prioritizes societal well-being.
