Abstract
Dimitrios Sargiotis
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has fundamentally transformed the landscape of information technology (IT), offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. However, these advancements also bring significant ethical challenges, including issues of bias, privacy, transparency, and accountability. This paper explores these ethical challenges and proposes a comprehensive ethical framework for the responsible development and deployment of AI in IT. Through an examination of historical context, current trends, and detailed case studies, the framework aims to provide actionable guidelines to mitigate biases, protect privacy, enhance transparency, and ensure accountability in AI systems. By fostering ethical AI practices, this framework aspires to support the sustainable and equitable advancement of AI technologies, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.
