Abstract

Ethical AI – A Myth? The author demonstrates why machines can never act morally. Not due to technical deficits, but because they fundamentally lack consciousness, intentionality, and responsibility. She exposes the illusion of "ethical AI" and poses the critical questions: Who controls these systems? Who bears responsibility for their consequences? Rather than relying on algorithmic self-regulation, this monograph demands binding democratic control and institutionalized accountability. A decisive counterproposal to technological utopianism for all who want to understand why the problem cannot be solved through better algorithms. This book is based on the paper "Ethical AI as a Moral Agent is Impossible: Why Algorithmic Fairness is an Illusion and We Need Democratic AI Governance."
