Abstract

The evolution of the industry has always brought innovations to the processes and changes in the way people deal with their activities. In the fourth industrial revolution, known as industry 4.0, intelligent data processing, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence technologies were integrated into the process of making industries more and more innovative, but, in this revolution, there are new risks that need to be evaluated before their impacts become irreversible. From this perspective, it is interesting to discuss the ethical cost associated with the application of 4.0 technologies, especially the artificial intelligence that has been used across the board in different areas of the economy and society. Therefore, this article aimed to develop a bibliometric analysis based on the ethical impacts associated with artificial intelligence. To this end, an exploratory and descriptive study was developed, based on the collection and statistical treatment of secondary data. This study’s main contribution refers to pointing out trends, based on academic communication statistics through publications available for consultation, to guide the definition and implementation of principles that aim to mitigate or eliminate impacts ethical issues associated with the use of artificial intelligence.
