Abstract

There are no limits to expectations regarding Artificial Intelligences (AIs). What there is no consensus on is whether their promising applications, if realized, will benefit everyone. The goal of this paper is to reflect on the ethical challenges of using AI, especially those related to justice. To this end, after a brief presentation of the aspects most commonly raised in ethical discussions in relation to AI, the work will discuss the diverse ways in which these technologies can interact with peripheral contexts and bodies, posing a risk of increasing inequalities. Based on this observation, the aim is not only to describe these risks, but also to look at possible resources for dealing with the negative effects of AIs in historically vulnerable contexts.
