As machines grow smarter, the real challenge isn't what AI can do-but what it should do.

This urgent and thought-provoking guide tackles the pressing ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence, from bias in algorithms to the moral implications of autonomous systems. It explores how our values, laws, and philosophical frameworks must evolve in tandem with machines that now make decisions about healthcare, security, employment, and human identity.

Inside, you'll uncover:

- The hidden biases coded into AI systems and their real-world impacts

- What accountability looks like in machine-led decision-making

- How ancient moral philosophy applies to futuristic tech

- The dangers of unchecked automation and ethical "outsourcing"

- The frameworks emerging to build a more transparent and fair digital future

Perfect for tech professionals, policy thinkers, and curious citizens, this book offers a clear, accessible, and deeply reflective journey through the ethical maze of our AI-driven era. It will equip readers to ask smarter questions, challenge passive adoption, and advocate for a future where humanity stays at the centre of innovation.
