Eetikariske

Eetikariske is a term used in ethics to describe the ethical risks associated with actions, policies, or technologies. The concept encompasses the potential for harm to individuals or groups, violations of rights, or negative social consequences that may arise even when aims are legitimate. Eetikariske analysis usually involves identifying stakeholders, possible outcomes, and the moral implications of those outcomes, and it may be applied across domains such as healthcare, data science, engineering, and public policy.

Definitions and scope: It covers issues such as privacy, autonomy, informed consent, fairness and justice, accessibility, sustainability, and long-term consequences. It distinguishes from legal risk by focusing on moral acceptability, not only compliance.

Methods and frameworks: ethical risk assessment pairs traditional risk assessment with normative ethics; frameworks may include harm minimization, rights-based analysis, utilitarian cost-benefit evaluation, and virtue ethics; it also emphasizes transparency, accountability, and stakeholder engagement.

Applications and examples: In AI, eetikariske concerns include algorithmic bias, explainability, data privacy, surveillance; in healthcare, patient consent and equitable access; in business, supply chain ethics and corporate responsibility.

Criticism and challenges: normative disagreements, cultural variation, balancing innovation with precaution, measuring moral risk, and limited regulatory guidance.
