Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. THE ETHICAL MACHINE: AI Ethics, Accountability, and Governance for Practitioners Prof. Samer BarakatArtificial intelligence is making consequential decisions about real people every day. Who gets the loan. Who advances to the next hiring round. Who receives the clinical intervention. Who is flagged by the algorithm. And in most of the organizations deploying these systems, one question remains largely unanswered: what do we owe the people our AI affects?The Ethical Machine is the book that takes that question seriously.Written by Prof. Samer Barakat - Professor of MIS and Digital Business at Applied Science Private University and founder of Sigma AI Consulting - this is a rigorous, practitioner-grade framework for AI ethics that bridges the gap between academic philosophy and real institutional decision-making. It is the required reference text for the IFPASA AI Ethical Certification (AIEC), and the companion volume to The Governance Gap in the Sigma Series.What this book arguesAI ethics is not a compliance exercise. It is not a risk management function. It is not a values statement on a website. It is a decision discipline - a structured professional practice that imposes genuine moral obligations on everyone who builds or deploys systems that shape other people's lives.Those obligations are organized around an original framework: the Sigma AI Ethics Evaluation Model (SAEEM), developed from peer-reviewed research published through SSRN. SAEEM evaluates AI deployments across five weighted dimensions - Justification, Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Sustainability - providing the analytical structure practitioners need to move from principles to defensible decisions.What this book coversPart One establishes the foundations: what AI ethics actually is, five major ethical frameworks (consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics, contractarianism, and the maqasid al-shariah tradition), the concept of irreducible human authority, and the structural reality of power asymmetry - when AI systems fail, the people harmed are almost never the people who built them.Part Two develops SAEEM across four critical dimensions: bias and fairness, transparency and accountability, privacy and data sovereignty, and the global regulatory landscape including the EU AI Act, UNESCO, OECD, ISO 42001, and regional frameworks from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore.Part Three applies the framework to healthcare, finance, education, and the legal profession - addressing the clinical boundary problem, algorithmic exclusion, Islamic finance ethics, student rights, academic integrity, and the professional judgment standard in law.Part Four is the working toolkit: the Sigma Ethics Audit Framework (SEAF), a six-step audit methodology; ethics review board design; the full AIEC competency map; and the Sigma AI Ethics Practitioner's Pledge.Who this book is forThis book is for the AI product manager who wants to know whether what they are building is genuinely defensible. The legal professional evaluating AI systems without a framework. The compliance officer whose ethics program produces documentation rather than ethics. The board member providing oversight of systems they do not fully understand. The professional pursuing AIEC certification.This is your required reference text - written to give you not just the knowledge to pass the examination, but the analytical capacity to practice what the certification represents.About the authorProf. Samer Barakat is a Professor of MIS and Digital Business at Applied Science Private University, Amman, Jordan, and founder of Sigma AI Consulting.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Governance Gap: Why AI Readiness Starts With Leadership, Not Technology By Prof. Samer Barakat, Business Administration Department, Faculty of Business, Applied Science Privet University.Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations operate, compete, and deliver value. But across boardrooms, universities, and government institutions, the same uncomfortable truth keeps surfacing: most organizations are adopting AI faster than they are learning to govern it.That gap is not technical. It is a leadership problem.In The Governance Gap, Professor Samer Barakat - Professor of MIS and Digital Business at the Faculty of Business, Applied Science Private University, institutional advisor, and founder of Sigma AI Consulting - argues that AI readiness has never been about the sophistication of your systems. It is about the clarity of your leadership, the maturity of your governance, and the quality of judgment your institution develops while navigating one of the most consequential technological shifts of our time.Drawing on peer-reviewed research, real organizational case studies, and over a decade of advisory experience across business, higher education, and the legal profession, this book offers a structured, practical, and intellectually grounded guide for leaders who want to move beyond slogans and pilots.What you will find inside: Part One exposes the difference between AI adoption and AI readiness - and why institutions that confuse the two accumulate risk they cannot see. Part Two introduces the Sigma AI Readiness Model, a research-based framework for measuring governance maturity across strategy, people, data, operations, and oversight. Part Three shows what responsible AI governance looks like in practice - inside graduate classrooms, executive teams, boardrooms, and legal education environments. Part Four looks ahead at the emerging governance ecosystem and what institutions must build now to lead with credibility in the years ahead.This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about institutional leadership in an era defined by it.For executives, board members, academic leaders, and governance professionals who understand that the organizations which will endure are not those that moved fastest - but those that governed wisely. …
