Abstract

In the context of the artificial intelligence (AI) technologies boom, when Turing’s test has already been passed, adherence to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics becomes increasingly difficult. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the issue of societal limitation on AI technologies, as well as a scenario for AI entities. To this end, the PRISMA methodology was applied to the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, and a single scientific paper highlighting the societal limitation on the incorporation of ethical issues into AI algorithms was identified. The originality of the paper lies in its clarification of this limitation and creation of the altug scenario for AI entity actions.
