Rishu Kumar, C.L.P. Gupta, Anuj Pratap Singh · 2025
Addressing the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, this chapter delves into the concept of ethical construction and its evaluation. It argues that AI ethics has entered a pivotal third wave, centering on the operationalization of ethical principles. Despite the prominence of ethics in AI discourse, its application often eludes data scientists, necessitating operationalization. This chapter elucidates this paradigm shift by aligning AI ethics principles with the operational framework of AI-based digital or e-products/services, integrating a transparent governance model to delineate operational responsibilities. Through pragmatic, abstract, and political counterarguments, the authors navigate the complexities of AI ethics operationalization. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the formidable challenges surrounding the operationalization of AI ethics, aiming to provide insights for policymakers and practitioners navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
