A Manager’s Introduction to AI Ethics

Researchers and managers need to better understand how different ideas of ethics shape how artificial intelligence can be effectively applied and leveraged as a source of competitive advantage. More fundamentally, managers need to understand how the competitive use of artificial intelligence cannot be differentiated from the specific ethical claims reflected in the design, operation, management, and maintenance of the technology. We pose how AI can be given dimensions to provide better insight into ethical requirements. We pose, however, that there is no ethical panacea, rather that the effective global management of ethical and unethical AI requires a larger common meta-ethical approach.
