As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape societies, economies, and governance structures, ethical considerations surrounding its development and deployment have become critical. AI Ethics: A Textbook by Paula Boddington provides a comprehensive introduction to these ethical challenges, offering a balanced exploration of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and interdisciplinary perspectives. This book review critically assesses Boddington’s approach, highlighting the book’s strengths in integrating philosophy, law, and social sciences to analyze AI ethics. The review underscores the text’s accessibility, its suitability for students and educators, and its contribution to ethical discourse through structured exercises and case studies. While the book provides a robust foundation, areas for improvement include the need for more contemporary case studies, a deeper engagement with international AI governance frameworks, and a more critical examination of corporate influence on AI ethics. Overall, this review concludes that AI Ethics: A Textbook is an essential resource for those seeking to understand the ethical dimensions of AI and its impact on society.
