Philosophy and Ethics in the Digital Age: Moral Implications of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The digital age has introduced a profound shift in the way we engage with technology, particularly with the development of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI systems become more integrated into everyday life, they present unique moral and philosophical challenges. This paper examines the ethical implications of AI through the lens of philosophy, focusing on topics such as autonomy, responsibility, and the potential for bias. It explores the concepts of moral agency and accountability in AI systems and analyzes the impact of AI on social equity, privacy, and labor. The paper also highlights the ethical frameworks that can guide AI development, offering a balanced approach to harnessing its potential while mitigating its risks.
