Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that is quickly becoming part of our digital
infrastructure and woven into aspects of daily life. AI has the potential to impact society in many
positive ways. However, there are numerous examples of AI systems that are operating in ways
that are harmful, unjust and discriminatory. AI systems are constructs of the choices made in
their design. They exist within a socio-cultural context that reflects the data used in their training,
the design of their mathematical models and the values of their creators. Ethics, the moral
principles that guide our behaviour, can help us decide what values we want to uphold. There are
opportunities to introduce a broader ethical perspective into AI development which might serve
to mitigate harms and yield better outcomes in designing trustworthy AI systems. Ensuring that
we have ethically aligned AI is important for achieving the trust and social license needed to
apply AI in high stakes fields such as healthcare. -
