Summary

The concerns and corporate practice of business ethics have evolved over the past sixty years. But none of the changes of the past are as great as those that will occur in the next ten years as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning become ubiquitous tools in American society. This chapter presents a concise history of corporate attention to business ethics over this historical period in order to identify how “next-generation business ethics” will demonstrate both continuity with and divergence from past attention to business ethics.
