    AI ETHICS

                     Whenever a new technology is introduced, people are usually
                     excited to know what it can do. They ask questions such as: How
     ETHICS AND      fast is it? How accurate is it? How useful is it? These questions

     RESPONSIBLE AI  help us understand  the capabilities  of technology. However,
                     there is another equally important question that we must ask:
                     What should this technology do? This question leads us into the
                     world of ethics.
                     Ethics refers to the values, principles and guidelines that help us decide what is right and what is
                     wrong. When we apply these ideas to Artificial Intelligence, we call it AI Ethics. AI Ethics focuses
                     on ensuring that artificial intelligence systems are designed, developed and used in a responsible
                     and fair manner. It reminds us that technology should always benefit people and society, rather
                     than causing harm or creating unfair advantages.

                     As Artificial Intelligence becomes a part of everyday life, it influences decisions in areas such as
                     education, healthcare, banking, transportation and even social media. Because AI systems can
                     affect many people, it is important to make sure they follow ethical principles. AI ethics helps
                     guide developers and users to create systems that are safe, reliable and beneficial for everyone.
                     AI ethics ensures that AI systems:

                       Are fair and do not discriminate against individuals or groups
                       Respect privacy and protect personal information
                       Help society and contribute positively to human well-being

                       Remain accountable, meaning someone is responsible for their actions and decisions
                     Let us consider an example from healthcare. Imagine an AI system that helps doctors diagnose
                     diseases. This system should treat all patients equally, regardless of their background, gender, age
                     or economic status. It should also keep patient data confidential and provide accurate suggestions
                     that support doctors in making better decisions. If the system is biased or careless, it may lead to
                     incorrect treatment, which can be harmful. Therefore, ethical guidelines are necessary to ensure
                     that such systems are safe and trustworthy.

                     Ethical AI is not just about making systems smart, fast or efficient. It is also about making sure that
                     these systems are responsible, transparent and trustworthy. A truly successful AI system is one
                     that benefits everyone while avoiding harm.
                     Some key aspects of AI ethics are as follows:

                                                                   Ethical Al
