The research offers insights into how organizations can implement ethical AI practices, the challenges they face, and the impact of ethical AI on their work. With mounting concerns about the ethical implications of AI, this study is particularly relevant in the current discourse on AI ethics. The findings of the study contribute to the growing body of knowledge on ethical AI and have practical implications for organizations, policymakers, and researchers, offering valuable insights for decision-making, policy formulation, and future research in the field of AI ethics.
