Challenges and Ethical Considerations
Bias and discrimination: AI models might inherit biases and discrimination from training data and produce unfair or unethical results.
Lack of transparency: AI systems are difficult to configure, modify, and generally understand. This can raise questions about their ethical impact and how to address liability in case of errors.
Data Privacy issues. AI implementation in consulting services may have privacy issues, particularly with the collection and analysis of personal data.
Job losses. AI can automate jobs and can replace human labour which can lead to negative social and ethical impacts.
