Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising industries and influencing our daily lives, but its ethical implications continue to raise important questions. The Ethics Index is an annual nationwide survey that examines perceptions of ethical issues in Australian society. The survey serves as a snapshot of what Australians believe about certain ethical topics, industries and organisations.
