The status of ethical codes in the ethics of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The authors of the article consider the development and discussion of ethical codes (recommendations) as a necessary part of the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), a new interdisciplinary field emerging in the 21st century. The analysis of the structure and content of the sets of ethical recommendations in the field of AI, adopted by international and national organizations, allows the authors of the article to conclude that it is preferable to combine compact formulations of generally binding norms with concretization in relation to the types of activities of people involved in the life cycle of AI systems, taking into account the types of AI systems and cultural characteristics of countries.
