Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly pervasive technology in various industries, offering numerous benefits such as increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation. However, the ethical implications of AI adoption in industry have raised concerns and AI ethics has emerged as a critical field of study, focusing on the trustworthy development, deployment, and use of AI technologies. In this paper, we explore an AI Ethics concept with a particular focus on sustained enabling factors to guide organizations in navigating the ethical challenges associated with AI adoption.
