AI promises enormous benefits for economic growth, social development, as well as human well-being and safety improvement. However, the low-level of explainability, data biases, data security, data privacy, and ethical problems of AI-based technology pose significant risks for users, developers, humanity, and societies. As AI advances, one critical issue is how to address the ethical and moral challenges associated with AI. Even though the concept of \u201cmachine ethics\u201d was proposed around 2006, AI ethics is still in the infancy stage. AI ethics is the field related to the study of ethical issues in AI. To address AI ethics, one needs to consider the ethics of AI and how to build ethical AI. Ethics of AI studies the ethical principles, rules, guidelines, policies, and regulations that are related to AI. Ethical AI is an AI that performs and behaves ethically. One must recognize and understand the potential ethical and moral issues that may be caused by AI to formulate the necessary ethical principles, rules, guidelines, policies, and regulations for AI (i.e., Ethics of AI). With the appropriate ethics of AI, one can then build AI that exhibits ethical behavior (i.e., Ethical AI). This paper will discuss AI ethics by looking at the ethics of AI and ethical AI. What are the perceived ethical and moral issues with AI? What are the general and common ethical principles, rules, guidelines, policies, and regulations that can resolve or at least attenuate these ethical and moral issues with AI? What are some of the necessary features and characteristics of an ethical AI? How to adhere to the ethics of AI to build ethical AI?<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jdm.2020040105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]],"date-time":"2020-02-14T06:34:10Z","timestamp":1581662050000},"page":"74-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":502,"title":["Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Keng","family":"Siau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"JDM.2020040105-0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MIS.2006.83"},{"issue":"4","key":"JDM.2020040105-1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Machine ethics: Creating an ethical intelligent agent","volume":"28","author":"M.Anderson","year":"2007","journal-title":"AI Magazine"},{"key":"JDM.2020040105-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511978036"},{"key":"JDM.2020040105-3","unstructured":"Asimov, I.
