Artificial intelligence in the workplace : How should moral and legal issues be addressed?

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a new method for efficiently and cost-effectively assisting human activities as  science and technology have progressed in the fourth  industrial revolution. It has been argued that Artificial  Intelligence works in two ways. It can both create and eliminate jobs. Based on present technological capabilities,  AI has sparked speculative discussions concerning its  implications for morality and law. This article argues that AI  is a technological advancement that will help businesses  grow in the fourth industrial revolution. The controller determines its effects hence it can be put to either good or  bad use. As a result, for AI to benefit the prosperity and  well-being of humanity to the greatest degree, morals must be embedded in its use, and the law must be enacted to  ensure that human commitment to using AI wisely in business processes is consistent.
