Abstract

The increasing reliance on algorithmic decision-making (ADM) within
information systems (IS) raises crucial ethical questions regarding transparency,
accountability, bias, and fairness. As governments, corporations, and institutions
increasingly deploy algorithms to influence decisions in finance, healthcare, hiring,
and justice, the need for ethical frameworks becomes paramount. This paper examines
the ethical implications of ADM, exploring how IS can be designed and governed to
promote equitable and responsible outcomes. Through case analysis, empirical
evidence, and ethical models, the study advocates for a multidisciplinary approach
that incorporates technical, social, and legal perspectives to ensure human-centered
algorithmic decision-making.
