This timely Companion provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between applied ethics and the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Adopting a holistic approach, an array of global experts identify the norms at stake, map the legal landscape, and contextualize normative expectations in relevant use cases of AI.
The Elgar Companion to Applied AI Ethics explores the principles and notions that stakeholders confront in the development and implementation of AI technologies. Chapters examine the EU and US approaches to AI legalization, and question the extent to which different legal strategies adopted by Western governments foster a common international understanding of AI regulation. Diverse case studies of applied AI are discussed, covering autonomous driving, digital finance, AI and education, virtual cities, video games, and social robots. Ultimately, the Companion emphasizes the importance of incorporating non-Western perspectives into the global discourse on AI ethics and highlights the need to create effective frameworks which prevent AI solutions from negatively impacting individuals’ mental health.
This Companion is an invaluable resource for legal students and academics working in AI, information technology, social sciences, computer sciences, and human rights. Its practical implications for the future of technology will also be of interest to professionals working in international public policy and management staff concerned with digital ethics.

‘After tens of declarations on AI ethics, a wealth of books on ethics theories applied to AI or on AI and ethics in several industry sectors, multiple governance frameworks, a few regulatory projects, and the EU AI Act, here comes at last a valuable guide and a unique reference in this diverse and complex landscape.’
– Raja Chatila, ISIR, CNRS and Sorbonne Université, France
‘The ethics of AI often remains abstract. In this work, the editors bring together a multi-layered collection of different perspectives by professionally and culturally diverse authors. This all guarantees a vivid reading experience, not least through the discussion of very concrete fields of application and use cases.’
– Matthias Uhl, University of Hohenheim, Germany
‘This timely book provides an overview of morality and the underpinning ethical theories, and debates the universal validity and the context sensitivity of these largely principle-based perspectives and moral choices. It explores the role of the observer and specific cultural norms in this emerging popular paradigm underpinned by the rapid and socially impactful technological progress of artificial intelligent systems, through the lens of applied ethics.’
