What does it actually mean when we say that generative AI raises ethical questions?
Dr. Thilo Hagendorff, our research group leader at IRIS3D, has taken this question seriously and systematically. With his interactive Ethics Tree, he has created one of the most comprehensive overviews of ethical problem areas in generative AI: https://lnkd.in/ebzZYaU7
More than 300 clearly defined issues – ranging from discrimination and disinformation to ecological impacts – demonstrate the depth and scope of the ethical landscape. This “tree” does not merely highlight risks, but structures a field that is increasingly under pressure politically, technologically, and socially.
Mapping these questions so systematically underlines the need for ethical reflection as a core competence in AI research – not after the fact, but as part of the epistemic and technical process.
