Beschreibung
This book takes us on an in-depth exploration of the evolving intersection between artificial intelligence and ethical considerations. As AI applications extend far beyond technology giants, a robust ethical debate unfolds, addressing issues of discrimination, democracy, and due process. Tech startups, often lacking corporate governance and legal expertise, become central figures in this narrative, facing unique uncertainties. Grounded in applied ethics, this collaborative work between experts from practice and academia investigates responsible tech entrepreneurship, also helping lay practical foundations for startups. Providing diagnostic tools and frameworks, the book is tailored for academics, researchers, and professionals navigating the ethical dimensions of AI in organizational settings. Going beyond managerial insights, the narrative takes a philosophical turn, contemplating not just the capabilities but the ethical responsibilities of AI. Rooted in effective altruism and conceptual analyses, this book serves as a critical resource for those seeking informed, ethical decision-making in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
