The ethics of AI involves both the behavior of machines and the humans who
design, use,
and treat artificially intelligent systems. Ethical challenges include biases in AI systems, privacy
concerns, robot rights, threats to human dignity, liability, and the possible weaponization of AI.
Discussions on the issues of diversity and inclusion in the AI field and its use occur regularly.
Nevertheless, research has shown that AI systems perpetuate gender and racial biases. Another persistent
issue is the lack of female representation in the AI field, which affects system designs, among other
factors.
