The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has currently sparked an intense debate within ethicists, policymakers, and the general public about its effects on society. Though AI holds significant potential to disrupt various sectors, from healthcare to entertainment, there are increasing concerns regarding its possibility to intensify existing divisions and pose new ethical dilemmas.
