<p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technological advancement that has garnered attention for its benefits to society. Yet, there are concerns about the potential harmful impacts of its influence on decision-making processes within societal institutions. With it impacting almost every facet of our everyday lives, there is a valid concern about the lack of regulation regarding its implementation. This paper argues that to prevent people from reacting adversely to AI implementation, the ethical impacts of AI on society must be taken seriously and addressed proactively, without waiting for something to go wrong. I support this claim by conducting a review of the ethical concerns raised around the implementation of AI from the general U.S public, of larger societal institutions, i.e. the education system and healthcare, and of other historicalAmerican GPTs. This is followed by a review ofthe ethical issues that result from the same rapid, unregulated implementation that we are now seeing with AI. Additionally, a review of commentary from field leaders on the same topic and lastly, a review of the efforts made by the EU and the global call to action from the United Nations. I will ultimately propose an independent, multidisciplinary regulatory body that develops and enforces an ethical, preventative approach to AI implementation as a solution. This paper aims to act as a call to action for the United States, as this course of action is humanity’s best chance at harnessing AI’s transformative potential for society’s benefit, while actively seeking to minimize the ethical dilemmas that have and will arise with its implementation.</p>
