Abstract:
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become deeply embedded in modern society, shaping numerous facets of daily life, from healthcare to social media. While AI brings considerable advantages, such as increased efficiency and personalized services, it also introduces significant ethical challenges that require careful consideration. This paper examines the social implications of AI, particularly focusing on critical ethical issues like accountability, transparency, human-AI interaction, and the necessity for regulatory frameworks. By analyzing AI's impact in areas such as medical diagnostics, law enforcement, and information dissemination, the paper underscores both the transformative potential of AI and the associated risks if it is not managed responsibly. The research highlights the crucial need for strong ethical guidelines and policies to ensure that AI technologies are implemented in ways that reflect societal values and enhance human welfare. The goal is to contribute to the ongoing conversation on AI ethics and to provide a basis for future research and policy initiatives in this essential field.
