Abstract
The aim of this conceptual article is to demonstrate that proposing measures, actions, and decisions to improve the ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) depends on the ethical theoretical position chosen. To achieve this, we proceeded in two stages. Firstly, we characterized and synthesized three different ethical issues posed by AI. Secondly, we selected two main ethical positions proposed by philosophical literature. Finally, we showed that the choice of an ethical theoretical position for each category of ethical issues of AI leads to different decisions. We demonstrated that for each category of ethical problems, the ethical decisions and their consequences differ depending on the ethical theory chosen. The value of this paper is to highlight that the literature on AI ethics often neglects the implications of choosing an ethical position. In order to attempt to solve ethical issues, it is necessary to reach agreements and have discussions that take into account the different ethical theoretical positions and their consequences in terms of decision-making.
