Ethical Dimensions of AI Development

Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a revolutionary technology with the potential to transform various fields, including research, computing, and practitioner communities. However, this rapid progress necessitates addressing the ethical aspects of AI development. This paper introduces the concept of sustainable AI, which incorporates sustainable development principles into the design and implementation of AI systems. Sustainable AI aims to ensure that AI development and usage align with long-term social, economic, and environmental objectives by considering tensions between AI innovation and equitable resource distribution, inter/intra-generational justice, and the relationship between environment, society, and economy . By drawing on sustainability ethics foundations, this paper emphasizes examining the environmental impacts of A I while advocating for a more eco-friendly approach to its development.
