Epilogue: Ethical Considerations

We conclude the elaboration with ethical considerations of artificial intelligence in context of business applications. Although artificial intelligence positively impacts the economy and our society, at the same time, it raises public concerns, such as negative effects on jobs or loss of human control in automated decision-making. Thus, the success of artificial intelligence depends on its broad social acceptance. Therefore, in this final epilogue, we briefly discuss ethical guiding principles to steer the development and deployment of artificial intelligence software.
