Abstract
The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the emergence of autonomous systems capable of making decisions without human intervention. While AI has the potential to revolutionize various industries, its application in decision-making processes raises critical ethical concerns. This article explores the ethical implications of AI in autonomous decision-making, focusing on issues such as accountability, transparency, bias, privacy, and the impact on human autonomy. It examines the role of AI in sectors such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and law enforcement, and discusses the challenges associated with ensuring that AI systems align with ethical principles and societal values.
