"How can I help?": an integrative review on the implications of Artificial Intelligence for ethical education in engineering
Keywords:
Ethical training, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering educationAbstract
The exponential advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has produced transformations in various sectors of society. In this context, this article aims to analyze, through a integrative literature review, the impacts of AI on the ethical training and professional practice of engineers. The research was based on a synthesis of 15 articles and papers published in the proceedings of international events. The results indicate that the rise of AI imposes the need for a reassessment of ethical training in engineering, both in the academic sphere and in professional practice. The literature points out that AI-based systems introduce gaps in legal and semantic accountability that strain traditional normative structures. It is evident that AI can be incorporated as a didactic tool, through case-based reasoning and structured deliberation processes. It is concluded that AI requires the expansion of the formative scope in engineering beyond technical skills and critical reflection on the environmental, social, political, and psychological impacts of technological development.
