Right-wrong considerations involved
Ethical implications are the moral consequences or considerations that arise from an action, decision, or policy.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of technology, medicine, research, and business: We need to consider the ethical implications of AI in hiring decisions.
Something with serious ethical implications demands examination of whether it's right or wrong, who might be harmed, and what responsibilities follow.
