AI Ethics and the Capability Approach
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This contribution deals with recent theoretical approaches in AI (artificial intelligence) ethics and their (possible) connection with Amartya Sen's capability approach as well as my application of it to media and AI capabilities. While such an integration is considered on a general level in some AI ethics publications, a more detailed analysis of media and AI capabilities is still an ongoing project in the field of applied ethics. When looking for solutions to ethical dilemma situations arising from the development and use of new AI technologies, further cooperation between the social sciences, economic-ethical concepts such as the capability approach, and more traditional philosophical approaches considering deontological principles, virtues, and justice is needed.
