- Abstract: This article analyzes AI ethics from a distinct business ethics perspective,
i.e., 'ordoliberalism 2.0.' It argues that the ongoing discourse on
(generative) AI relies too much on corporate self-regulation and voluntary
codes of conduct and thus lacks adequate governance mechanisms. To address
these issues, the paper suggests not only introducing hard-law legislation with
a more effective oversight structure but also merging already existing AI
guidelines with an ordoliberal-inspired regulatory and competition policy.
However, this link between AI ethics, regulation, and antitrust is not yet
adequately discussed in the academic literature and beyond. The paper thus
closes a significant gap in the academic literature and adds to the
predominantly legal-political and philosophical discourse on AI governance. The
paper's research questions and goals are twofold: First, it identifies
ordoliberal-inspired AI ethics principles that could serve as the foundation
for a 'digital bill of rights.' Second, it shows how those principles could be
implemented at the macro level with the help of ordoliberal competition and
regulatory policy.

I argue that these insufficiencies could be mitigated by developing a research agenda for a feminist metaethics of AI.
Applying this perspective to the context of AI, I suggest that a feminist metaethics of AI would examine: (i) the continuity between theory and action in AI ethics; (ii) the real-life effects of AI ethics; (iii) the role and profile of those involved in AI ethics; and (iv) the effects of AI on power relations through methods that pay attention to context, emotions and narrative.

Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Safety is an emerging research field that has been gaining popularity in recent years.
Several private, public and non-governmental organizations have published guidelines proposing ethical principles for regulating the use and development of autonomous intelligent systems.
We would like to conduct a critical analysis of the current state of AI Ethics and suggest that this form of governance is not sufficient to norm the AI industry and its developers.

This interdisciplinary position paper considers various concerns surrounding fairness and discrimination in AI, and discusses how AI regulations address them.
We first look at AI and fairness through the lenses of law, (AI) industry, sociotechnology, and (moral) philosophy, and present various perspectives.
We identify and propose the roles AI Regulation should take to make the endeavor of the AI Act a success in terms of AI fairness concerns.

Benchmarks are seen as the cornerstone for measuring technical progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research.
An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system.
We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
