Description: Unethical AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate without adhering to ethical principles, which can result in harmful or biased decisions. These systems can perpetuate or even amplify social, racial, or gender inequalities, as they are often trained on data that contains inherent biases. A lack of transparency in algorithms and the absence of accountability in their implementation are common characteristics of unethical AI. This raises serious concerns about fairness, privacy, and security, as automated decisions can significantly impact people’s lives. Unethical AI can manifest in various applications, from facial recognition systems that discriminate against certain groups to hiring algorithms that favor candidates of a specific profile. The growing reliance on AI in critical sectors such as healthcare, justice, and public safety underscores the urgent need to establish ethical frameworks that guide the development and implementation of these technologies. Without proper regulation, unethical AI can become a tool of oppression rather than a resource for social progress.
