Abstract

This paper provides a critical and systematic analysis of the relevant literature concerning the ethical discussions of recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Aiming to delve deeper into the ethical implications of AI, particular emphasis is placed on its applications in the fields of health and politics, both underscored for their intrinsic significance in shaping daily life and social cohesion. The discussion focuses on the influence of AI on key aspects such as decision-making and privacy within healthcare. In the political context, attention is drawn to its potential impact on public opinion, the spread of misinformation, and the vulnerability of institutions to cyberattacks. It is concluded that as the integration of AI across various domains has raised legitimate ethical concerns and posed tangible political risks, there is a pressing need to promote interdisciplinary dialogue to anticipate and understand the forthcoming technological horizon and to clearly establish the guiding principles for its conception, production, development, implementation, distribution, and use. Furthermore, it is contended that while AI can emulate certain human cognitive processes, its current inability to experience emotions or self-awareness fundamentally distinguishes it from human intelligence, challenging any direct comparison between the two.
