AI and Ethics: A Human-Centered Introduction

Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology of the future. We already live alongside algorithms that influence news recommendations, hiring decisions, finance, healthcare, education, and countless other aspects of everyday life. Yet in an age when machines make more and more decisions, the responsibility for determining what is right-and for answering for the consequences-remains fundamentally human.This book approaches AI not merely as a technological innovation, but as an ethical and social phenomenon. Through real-world cases and philosophical inquiry, it explores some of the most pressing issues in contemporary AI ethics, including algorithmic bias, the responsibility gap, surveillance and power, generative AI, and human-centered AI. Rather than offering simple answers, it provides readers with a framework for critical reflection, ethical judgment, and meaningful discussion.AI and Ethics is both an accessible introduction to AI ethics for university students and general readers, and a guide for anyone seeking to understand the evolving relationship between technology and humanity in the age of artificial intelligence.
