The Integration of Ethical and Trustworthy AI in Industrial Engineering: Practical Approaches

The fast growth of artificial intelligence during recent years has resulted in its implementation across various sectors. The broad implementation of AI systems has generated substantial ethical issues because AI algorithm decisions can affect basic rights such as privacy, fairness, security and individual autonomy. With these concerns, governments, international organizations, and academic institutions have established guidelines and regulations to ensure that artificial intelligence systems are designed and implemented in a manner that upholds fundamental ethical principles. This work presents the results of a Systematic Literature Review using the PRISMA approach and aims to identify which approaches/methods are the most suitable ones for being used to integrate ethics and trustworthiness into AI tools for industrial engineering applications. Therefore, the review considered 38 pertinent scientific works published between 2019 and the end of August 2024.
