Machine Ethics - AI Software Ethics
Each and every industry today starting right from our Good morning news App in our smart phone to grocery discounts and offers to supply chains, healthcare, fuel, global banking, everything is becoming automated.

The question remains - Is ethical AI actually possible? What would be the fixed ethics that would be circulated to be followed ? Would all this differ from software to software and industry to industry?
Different regions have different lifestyles and social cultures which would need to be morally considered if AI is helping the people there in usual activities like a self driven car.
