THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ETHICS IN DIGITAL STATE ADMINISTRATION

DİJİTAL DEVLET YÖNETİMİNDE YAPAY ZEKÂ ETİĞİNİN ÖNEMİ

Abstract

Geographical discoveries and the industrial revolution brought significant advances in science, technology, industrialization, culture, urbanization, and trade. During this period, unimaginable and significant inventions and revolutions were made in science and technology. Especially in Western countries and Japan, the transition from analog technologies to digital technologies was first made, followed by telecommunications technologies. This led to the development of information and communication technologies. This process then witnessed the phase of electronic government structure and its applications. Finally, digital technologies and digital government administration were achieved. This process is also progressing with the development of artificial intelligence technologies and quantum computers. However, artificial intelligence technologies are now deeply impacting the world and human life. This issue is a problematic that requires interdisciplinary study, as it encompasses engineering aspects of technological development and digitalization, as well as public administration. However, at this point, there is a need to rapidly define the ethical stance and establish ethical principles in artificial intelligence applications. Furthermore, the sound implementation and effective oversight of these principles are essential in digital government administration. This study primarily explains the use of artificial intelligence technology and its use in digital government administration. Next, the ethical issues surrounding AI technology and its applications in digital government are discussed. Some scientific studies on this topic are discussed. Following this, some legal regulations regarding AI ethics are outlined. Conclusions and evaluations on the subject are presented.
