a.to focus AIis used on technical challenges
b. to ensure AIis used for beneficial purposes
c. to speed up AI Deployment into market
d. to lomitAI USE TO PRIVATE sectors only

Answer 1

Correct answer: b. to ensure AI is used for beneficial purposes.

Why:
- Ethical review across all phases (design, data collection, training, testing, deployment, monitoring) helps prevent harms like bias, privacy violations, safety failures, discrimination, and misuse, and promotes fairness, transparency, accountability, and public trust.
- It reduces legal, financial, and reputational risk and supports long-term adoption and societal value.

Why the other choices are incorrect:
- a (focus only on technical challenges): Technical fixes alone can’t address social, legal, or moral harms such as bias, privacy breaches, or unequal impacts.
- c (speed up deployment): Ethics may initially slow deployment but prevents costly harm, recalls, or legal action later; the goal is safe, responsible deployment, not merely speed.
- d (limit use to private sectors only): Ethical oversight is needed across public and private sectors and academia; restricting use to one sector is neither practical nor an ethical solution.
