The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into decision-

making processes has sparked significant debate on the ethical and


societal implications of its use. A critical review of scholarly articles
published in the last three years highlights concerns regarding algorithmic
bias, data privacy, and accountability in AI systems. For instance, Noble
(2021) explores how biased datasets used to train AI can perpetuate
discrimination, particularly in criminal justice and hiring practices, by
unfairly targeting marginalized communities. Similarly, a study by Raji et
al. (2022) examines the lack of transparency in AI systems, emphasizing
how the absence of clear accountability structures can lead to misuse or
harm without recourse for affected individuals. While proponents of AI
argue that it improves efficiency and reduces human error, articles by Ahn
et al. (2023) and Lee and Kim (2022) highlight critical risks associated
with data privacy breaches, as seen in high-profile cases involving facial
recognition technologies used by law enforcement. These studies suggest
that such breaches disproportionately impact vulnerable populations,
raising ethical questions about consent and surveillance. Bias in AI
systems is often rooted in the lack of diversity among those developing
these technologies, as detailed in a study by Perez (2022), which
advocates for more inclusive teams to mitigate the risk of algorithmic
inequities. Critical thinking reveals inherent biases and assumptions within
these discussions, such as the optimism that regulatory measures alone
can solve these problems, despite limited evidence of their effectiveness
in practice. Furthermore, the framing of AI as an infallible solution to
human inefficiency overlooks the socio-political contexts in which these
systems operate, which may amplify pre-existing inequalities. Using the
critical thinking strategies learned this week, it becomes evident that
while AI presents opportunities for innovation, its implementation requires
a more nuanced understanding of ethical considerations, accountability,
and the socio-economic implications for diverse global populations. To
address these concerns, ongoing interdisciplinary research and
transparent policy-making are imperative to balance technological
advancement with ethical responsibility.
