Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2023, vol. 17, issue 1, 721-732

Abstract: In this paper, we examine from an ethical perspective the AI tools used in the public sector. After a presentation of the categories of AI applications used in the developed countries in the public institutions, we briefly examine some AI ethical documents of the most important international organizations in order to identify the main ethical aspects relevant for this field, In the following three sections, we examine the central ethical themes identified in the ethical documents analyzed: fairness and non-discrimination, transparency and accountability, safety and privacy. For all these themes, we present and discuss ethical standards for the use of AI tools in the public sector. In the last section, we focus on two specific problems relevant for the use of algorithms in public decision-making, which would need clarification in ethical guidelines.
