Ethics is the science of human action that tries to explain what morality is, how it arises and how it develops. Morality is a set of unwritten and accepted rules, customs and norms that relate to human actions and behavior in a certain community. Artificial intelligence is the science and technology that seeks to create intelligent computer systems using advanced techniques in computer science, logic and mathematics to create robots that will mimic and duplicate intelligent human-like behavior. The ethics of artificial intelligence is focused on ethical issues related to the development, introduction and use of artificial intelligence. Reliable artificial intelligence contributes to the well-being of citizens in ways that promote equality in the distribution of political, economic, and social opportunities. Ethical principles on fundamental rights must be respected in order for artificial intelligence systems to be developed and used in an adequate and thorough manner. Artificial intelligence systems must be secure and protected and should never be exposed to malicious use.
