Regulating Risks and Ethical Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in the Context of the AI Act
Vol.15,No.2(2024)
Anthropologia integra
This article addresses the risks and ethical challenges associated with using artificial intelligence (AI) systems within the context of the recently enacted AI Act, which establishes a binding legal framework of the European Union for their development and deployment. AI systems are becoming essential tools across various sectors of society, including healthcare, public administration, and security. However, this rapid expansion raises significant ethical concerns, particularly regarding fairness, transparency, and the protection of fundamental rights. The AI Act addresses these risks by introducing regulations to ensure accountability and prevent unethical practices by AI systems. The article focuses on identifying and categorizing key risks, the responsibilities of AI providers, and the major ethical challenges, which may pose significant ethical implications for individuals and society, including threats to privacy, unpredictable impacts on the labor market, and exacerbating social inequalities. In the concluding section, recommendations are provided for further development and implementation of AI to maximize its societal benefits while minimizing potential negative consequences.
