Ethical considerations in AI-driven project management

Abstract

The research paper examines the ethical aspects of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to project management. Modern project management uses AI tools to handle intricate problems like cost overruns, delays in project completion and risk management. To balance the advantages of AI with any potential ethical risks or difficulties, however, is imperative.

The principal aims of this study are to identify and analyse the ethical issues associated with the application of AI in project management, propose strategies to address these issues while optimising the benefits and consider existing ethical control frameworks. A thorough literature analysis and synthesis of ethical frameworks and principles were carried out in order to accomplish these goals.

Several strategies are proposed to achieve a balance between the benefits and the risks. These include the creation of strong ethical frameworks, the application of improved governance and regulatory frameworks, and the active participation of project stakeholders in ethical decision-making processes. The paper emphasises how critical it is to integrate principles like accountability, fairness and transparency at every stage of AI project management systems development.

The paper's conclusions draw attention to the ethical problems that AI project management techniques present particularly with regard to privacy, bias, fairness, transparency and accountability. Although artificial intelligence has many benefits including increased accuracy, efficiency and capacity across various project management domains, it is critical to recognise the ethical compromises these advantages entail. In addressing moral dilemmas and making sure AI development is in line with societal norms and human rights it promotes a proactive approach. The paper calls for more investigation and teamwork to advance moral AI practices.
