Abstract

The present review has identified the urgency and multi-dimensionality of the issue of integrating ethical principles into AI systems in enterprises. With the further integration of AI into machinery in business and commerce in general, the threats of algorithmic discrimination, information privacy, and non-transparency should no longer be considered secondary issues. They are core to organizational success and social responsibility. A conceptual model was also suggested with ethical core elements like fairness, privacy, and transparency being correlated to the enterprise goals like innovation, trust, and ROI. The review understands empirical evidence indicating that ethical AI practices do not just improve the levels of stakeholder trust, but also match long-term strategic value. Still, even being extremely progressive, the sphere is fragmented and in demand of normalization. The majority of organizations still have a problem with translating abstract ideas into practical implementation plans. Evaluations have shown that the path forward is to build strong frameworks, scalable tools, and inclusive governance systems that would enable to operationalise of ethics throughout the AI lifecycle. In this way, enterprises are able to create AI systems that can be smart, along with being fair, reliable, and sustainable.
