What is Ethical AI in Corporate Decision-Making?

Ethical AI in corporate decision-making examines the moral, regulatory, and accountability challenges of deploying AI tools like ChatGPT in business leadership, strategy formulation, and compliance processes.

Researchers analyze bias risks, ethical frameworks, and governance structures for AI integration in corporate settings. Key studies include Abdul Basir et al. (2023) on ChatGPT's role in leadership decisions (36 citations) and Eva Hariyanti et al. (2023) on AI implementations in IT governance (2 citations). Over 40 papers address these intersections since 2023.

Key Challenges

Why It Matters

Ethical AI frameworks prevent bias amplification in corporate hiring and strategy, as shown in Abdul Basir et al. (2023), where ChatGPT influences leadership amid accountability gaps. Regulatory compliance reduces legal risks in high-stakes decisions, per Hariyanti et al. (2023) systematic review of AI in IT governance. Sustainable business practices emerge from employee engagement tied to ethical tech adoption, highlighted by Priyashantha et al. (2023).

Key Research Challenges

Bias in Leadership AI

AI tools like ChatGPT embed biases in strategic decisions, amplifying inequalities in corporate outcomes. Abdul Basir et al. (2023) identify insufficient mitigation strategies in leadership contexts. This persists without standardized ethical audits.

Accountability Frameworks

Assigning responsibility for AI-driven decisions remains unclear in governance structures. Hariyanti et al. (2023) review shows fragmented IT governance lacking AI-specific accountability. Legal hurdles compound issues, as in Birendra Kumar and Dilip Dwivedy (2023).

Regulatory Compliance Gaps

Corporate AI adoption outpaces regulations, risking non-compliance in decision-making. Eva Hariyanti et al. (2023) highlight integration challenges across frameworks. Employee engagement suffers without clear ethical guidelines, per Priyashantha et al. (2023).
