A new research paper suggests that ethics in AI is without value. As the power and influence of AI systems have risen, the efforts to control and introduce fairness from all sectors have been to produce AI guidelines and codes of ethics. The paper proposes that these are "meaningless principles which are contested or incoherent, making them difficult to apply; they are isolated principles situated in an industry and education system which largely ignores ethics; and they are toothless principles which lack consequences and adhere to corporate agendas." In conclusion, the author argues, "AI ethical principles are useless, failing to mitigate the racial, social, and environmental damages of AI technologies in any meaningful sense."
