Description: The Technological Impact Assessment (TIA) in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics refers to a systematic process that seeks to identify and analyze the potential effects that AI technologies may have on society and the environment. This approach focuses on the need to anticipate and mitigate risks associated with the implementation of AI systems, considering ethical, social, and environmental aspects. TIA involves data collection, stakeholder consultation, and the evaluation of different scenarios to understand how technology can influence daily life, privacy, equity, and social justice. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various areas, from healthcare to education and security, TIA becomes a crucial tool to ensure that these technologies are developed and used responsibly. The assessment is not limited to negative impacts but also seeks to identify opportunities for social benefit and sustainable development. In this sense, TIA aligns with ethical principles that promote transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, ensuring that decisions about the use of AI are made in an informed and thoughtful manner.
