The development of numerical methods and information technologies is occurring at a rapid pace.
Hence, the main research question addressed by this work is whether ethics is required for artificial
intelligence (AI), and thus (1) ‘Are the existing documents regulating the ethics of AI sufficient?’
and (2) ‘Is there a need to develop new regulations? If so, in what areas?’ The presented
investigations involved the use of literature review method, case study, analysis, and synthesis.
Based on the analysis of scientific documents and articles, as well as examples related to the use of
artificial intelligence, the main and detailed research questions have been answered in the
affirmative. Nonetheless, there is a pressing need to develop documentation regulating: military AI
use, AI applications in social networks, robot ethics, AI in the automotive industry, or ecology. The
presented case studies indicate other unregulated areas: AI applications in medicine or legal
provisions on specific issues. The lack of an AI code of ethics may hinder the development of new
applications for intelligent devices in the future.
