A Review of the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and its Applications in the United States

This study is focused on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence and its application in the United States, the paper highlights the impact AI has in every sector of the US economy and multiple facets of the technological space and the resultant effect on entities spanning businesses, government, academia, and civil society. There is a need for ethical considerations as these entities are beginning to depend on AI for delivering various crucial tasks, which immensely influence their operations, decision-making, and interactions with each other. The adoption of ethical principles, guidelines, and standards of work is therefore required throughout the entire process of AI development, deployment, and usage to ensure responsible and ethical AI practices. Our discussion explores eleven fundamental'ethical principles' structured as overarching themes. These encompass Transparency, Justice, Fairness, Equity, Non-Maleficence, Responsibility, Accountability, Privacy, Beneficence, Freedom, Autonomy, Trust, Dignity, Sustainability, and Solidarity. These principles collectively serve as a guiding framework, directing the ethical path for the responsible development, deployment, and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across diverse sectors and entities within the United States. The paper also discusses the revolutionary impact of AI applications, such as Machine Learning, and explores various approaches used to implement AI ethics. This examination is crucial to address the growing concerns surrounding the inherent risks associated with the widespread use of artificial intelligence. NTRODUCTION Since the advent of artificial intelligence, various applications have been developed that have assisted human productivity and alleviated human effort, resulting in efficient time management. Artificial intelligence has aided businesses, healthcare, information technology, banking, transportation, and robots. The term "artificial intelligence" refers to reproducing human intelligence processes using machines, specifically computer systems[1].Artificial intelligence allows the United States of America to run more efficiently, produce cleaner products, reduce adverse environmental impacts, promote public safety, and improve human health. Until recently, conversations around "AI ethics" were limited to academic institutions and non-profit organizations.
