AI and Moral Dilemmas

By: Johnsen, Maria

AI and Moral Dilemmas explores the urgent ethical questions emerging from this transformation and provides a clear, structured guide to understanding them.

This book bridges philosophy, technology, and policy to examine how moral reasoning applies to intelligent machines. It introduces foundational ethical theories utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics and shows how they shape modern AI systems and governance frameworks.

Readers will gain a deep understanding of key global AI ethics standards, including international guidelines and industry approaches, while also exploring the real-world challenges of enforcing ethical AI in rapidly evolving technological environments.

Beyond frameworks and theory, the book tackles critical societal issues such as:

Algorithmic bias and fairnessHuman rights, privacy, and autonomyAI in law, policing, and judicial systemsPolitical manipulation and the threat to democracyJob displacement and economic inequalityAI in healthcare, education, and creativity

It also examines the most profound emerging questions in technology and philosophy: machine consciousness, moral agency, superintelligence, and the long-term future of humanity in an AI-driven world.

Clear, accessible, and deeply thought-provoking, AI and Moral Dilemmas is an essential resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and professionals seeking to understand the ethical forces shaping the future of artificial intelligence and the world itself.
