Ethical Dimensions of AI Development: A Framework for Responsible Innovation

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, yet its rapid advancement raises critical ethical concerns related to bias, privacy, accountability, and societal impact. This paper explores the ethical dimensions of AI development, providing a comprehensive framework for responsible innovation. We analyze key ethical challenges, including algorithmic fairness, data privacy, and AI transparency, using case studies from healthcare, finance, and law enforcement. The study proposes best practices for AI developers, regulatory guidelines, and a multidisciplinary approach to AI ethics, ensuring that AI technologies align with human values and societal well-being.
