| Abstract: |
The issue of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics is a prominent research subject. Whilethere is a compendious literature that explores this area, surprisingly little of it makesexplicit reference to the ethic-theoretical foundations upon which it is built. Toaddress this matter, this study makes an examination of the AI ethics literature toidentify its ethic-theoretical foundations. The study identifies the lack of AI ethics lit-erature that draws upon seminal ethics works and the ensuing disconnectednessamong the publications on this subject. It also uncovers numerous non-Westernethic-theoretical positions that can be adopted and may afford new insight into AIethics research and practice. Employing these alternative lenses may obviate the ten-dency for Western worldviews to dominate the academic literature. The study pro-vides some guidance for future AI ethics research which should endeavor to clearlyarticulate its chosen ethic-theoretical position, and for practice which could benefitfrom understanding and articulating the principles upon which AI systems arefounded. It also provides some observations of, and guidance for, the utilization ofLitmaps software in the conduct of Literature reviews |
