As AI continually changes how businesses operate, new questions emerge around ethics and privacy. Nowadays, algorithms can set prices and personalize offers, but how do companies ensure they’re doing this responsibly? What does it mean to be transparent with customers about data use, and how can businesses avoid unintended bias? Balancing innovation with trust is key, but achieving this balance isn’t always straightforward.
