Abstract
AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of existing proposals to address ethical issues of AI systems with a focus on ethical frameworks. A large number of such frameworks have been proposed with the aim to ensure the development of AI systems aligned with human values and morals. The frameworks list key ethical values that an AI system should follow. For the most part, they can be regarded as instances of philosophical principlism. This paper provides an overview of such frameworks and their general form and intended way of working. It lists some of the main principles that are proposed in the frameworks and critically assesses the practicality of the various approaches. It also describes current trends, tools, and approaches to ensure the ethicality of AI systems.
