The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the industrial sector has not only driven innovation but also expanded the ethical landscape, necessitating a reevaluation of principles governing technology and its applications and awareness in research and development of industrial AI solutions. This chapter explores how AI-empowered industrial innovation inherently intersects with ethics, as advancements in AI introduce new challenges related to transparency, accountability, and fairness. In the chapter, we then examine the ethical aspects of several examples of AI manifestation in industrial use cases and associated factors such as ethical practices in the research and development process and data sharing. With the progress of ethical industrial AI solutions, we emphasize the importance of embedding ethical principles into industrial AI systems and its potential to inspire technological breakthroughs and foster trust among stakeholders. This chapter also offers actionable insights to guide industrial research and development toward a future where AI serves as an enabler for ethical and responsible industrial progress as well as a more inclusive industrial ecosystem.

翻译：人工智能在工业领域的融合不仅推动了创新，也拓展了伦理范畴，这要求我们重新审视技术及其应用的原则，并提升工业人工智能解决方案研发中的伦理意识。本章探讨了人工智能赋能的工业创新如何与伦理问题产生内在交集，因为人工智能的进步带来了与透明度、问责制和公平性相关的新挑战。随后，本章通过若干工业应用案例中人工智能的具体表现，考察了其中的伦理维度及相关因素，例如研发过程中的伦理实践与数据共享。随着符合伦理的工业人工智能解决方案的发展，我们强调将伦理原则嵌入工业人工智能系统的重要性，及其在激发技术突破和培养利益相关方信任方面的潜力。本章还提供了可操作的见解，以引导工业研发走向一个未来，在那里人工智能不仅成为合乎伦理、负责任的工业进步的推动者，也将助力构建更具包容性的工业生态系统。
