Description: Freedom in the context of AI ethics refers to the autonomy of individuals to make decisions without undue influence from AI systems. This concept is fundamental in the discussion of how artificial intelligence technologies can affect people’s ability to act according to their own judgment and values. Freedom implies not only the absence of coercion but also the possibility of choosing among various options, which becomes crucial in an environment where automated decisions can influence daily life. AI ethics faces the challenge of ensuring that AI systems respect and promote individual freedom, avoiding biases that may limit the options available to people. Furthermore, freedom in this context also encompasses transparency in the functioning of algorithms, allowing users to understand how decisions are made and ensuring they are not manipulated by external interests. In an increasingly digitized world, protecting individual freedom against automation and data use becomes a topic of growing relevance, as AI-driven decisions can significantly impact personal autonomy and individuals’ ability to exercise their free will.
