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.
