This article presents a review of the contemporary challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, based on current approaches to technology ethics. It analyzes Mario Bunge’s contribution to techno-ethics and its relevance in today’s context, characterized by the rise of autonomous systems, machine learning, and algorithmic decision-making. Within this framework, key issues such as transparency, fairness, responsibility, and the social impact of AI are examined. Various perspectives are compared, highlighting debates on the balance between innovation and ethical oversight. Finally, the article proposes avenues for strengthening AI ethics to address emerging challenges.
