The four ethics of artificial intelligence

The aim of this article is to contribute to the clarification of the notion of ethics of artificial intelligence (AI). To achieve this task, it examines the hypothesis that four forms of discourse are at work, so that there are four AI ethics: computer ethics; algorithmic ethics; robotic or artificial ethics; digital ethics; and ethics of AI uses (or UX AI ethics). These forms are implemented by specialists from various academic fields, and they differ for several reasons analyzed in the article. By clarifying the nature of each discourse, by defining their methodological regime, by delimiting their respective scope, it is possible to question them with regard to the aims generally assigned to ethics.
