Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized multiple sectors, but it has also introduced significant ethical and legal challenges. This paper discusses four critical areas: bias and discrimination, privacy concerns, accountability, and intellectual property (IP). As AI adoption accelerates, addressing these issues is essential to ensure fairness, transparency, and human right.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and daily life, but it also raises significant ethical and legal challenges. Key concerns include the potential for AI systems to perpetuate bias and discrimination, threats to privacy through mass data collection and surveillance, difficulties in accountability for AI-driven decisions, and unresolved questions around intellectual property (IP) for AI-generated creations. Policymakers and regulators worldwide are grappling with these issues, aiming to promote innovation while safeguarding rights and societal values. Below is an in-depth overview of these four critical areas, including case studies, laws, and policy developments for each.
