INTRODUCTION
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in corporate environments has become a significant trend in supporting daily work.This can be observed from research conducted by McKinsey, where 50%of respondents have adopted the use of AI in their business unit.AI provides the capability to process and analyze data quickly, automate routine tasks, and generate valuable insights for companies.However, with the growing dependence on AI, it is important to consider the ethical aspects involved in it's use .The potential risks of misuse and the emergence of security incidents during the implementation of AI need to be addressed by organization.The results of research conducted by Accenture state that 78% of employees are concerned about the misuse of AI in the workplace.The lack of guidance provided by companies can lead to the ambiguity regarding what employees are allowed and not allowed to do when using AI.A study by Accenture indicates that 94% of consumers trust companies that are transparent about their use of AI in the workplace.Therefore, the principle and guidelines of artificial intelligence ethics within companies become crucial.This will be ensure that the use of AI is conducted responsibly and in accordance with the moral values of principles recognized within the company

LITERATURE REVIEW
The creation of computer systems with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities is refers to as this.These include thinking, problem solving, experience-based learning, and comprehending natural language.
AI challenges encompass various aspects, including ensuring the validity and reliability of AI systems, securing their resilience, making them accountable and transparent, ensuring fairness, safeguarding data privacy, and striking a balance between innovation and intellectual property rights.According to a report by PwC, ethical considerations are deemed essential for AI adoption by 85% of executives.Research conducted by Deloitte indicates that 32% of organizations have encountered some form of AI-related ethical issue.The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) incorporates provisions concerning AI and data protection, while the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has advocated for increased transparency and accountability in AI systems.Consumer awareness of the ethical implications of AI is on the rise.A study by Edelman revealed that 73% of consumers believe companies should focus on AI regulation, with 62% stating they would trust a company more if it could elucidate how AI decisions are made.Establishing and upholding trust is paramount for businesses.Accenture's survey highlighted that 94% of consumers are likelier to trust a company transparent about its AI usage, while a Deloitte study showed that 76% of executives consider a trustworthy AI system vital for achieving business objectives.Additionally, developing an AI ethics policy can boost employee morale.Accenture's research found that 78% of employees are concerned about potential AI misuse in the workplace.Establishing clear guidelines and policies can assuage these concerns, fostering a more ethical work environment.
Drawing from the contextual background and supporting data collected, various potential risks associated with the utilization of AI by employees in a workplace have been identified.These encompass error in prediction and decision making, a lack of comprehension regarding AI processes in decision making or predictions, vulnerabilities in system integrity leading to infiltration, privacy infringements, or the leakage of sensitive data, as well as the potential for unfair, discriminatory, or biased.Additionally, there's concern over the misuse of copyright and AI system decisions conflicting with social values, human rights, or legal principles.
Among these reasons are the encouragement from the workplace to utilize AI to enhance and streamline employee's task, the potential occurrence of incidents or misuse associated with AI usage, and the uncertainty regarding what is right or wrong when using AI by employee.Consequently, the establishment of an ethics policy for AI usage becomes a crucial matter.
Moral behaviour is governed by a set of principles and guidelines known as ethics.It entails determining what is just or unjust decisions on these moral precepts.When it comes to technology, ethnics dictates how systems are created, developed, and used to make sure they uphold human rights and are consistent with society values.The set of values and guiding principles implementation when using AI known as AI Ethics which used by stakeholders, ranging from engineers to legislators, to guarantee that artificial intelligence is developed and used responsibly.It places a strong emphasis on societal effect, safety, justice, responsibility, and transparency.The goal of AI ethics is to promote the beneficial effects of AI systems on people and society while addressing any possible harms they may produce.

METHODOLOGY
In the burgeoning landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) integration within workplace environments, the need for comprehensive ethical guidelines has become increasingly apparent.Currently, several frameworks serve as benchmarks for organizations seeking to navigate the intricate ethical considerations surrounding AI implementation.Noteworthy among these are the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, "A New Era of Generative AI for Everyone" by Accenture, and "Everyday Ethics for Artificial Intelligence" by IBM.These frameworks offer key insights and methodologies for addressing various ethical challenges inherent in AI utilization.In this context, the author aims to leverage the key highlights from each framework to inform the development of a robust set of principles and guidelines pertaining to AI usage ethics.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework provides a structured approach to identifying, analysing, and mitigating risks associated with AI systems.It delineates processes for risk management, including risk identification, analysis, assessment, reduction, communication, consultation, monitoring, and review."A New Era of Generative AI for Everyone" by Accenture emphasizes the importance of defining and leading responsible AI principles from the top down within organizations.It underscores the need for leadership commitment, training, and awareness, extending to exemplary implementation and compliance."Everyday Ethics for Artificial Intelligence" by IBM advocates for aligning AI usage with user needs and concerns, continuous improvement and evaluation of AI systems, and considering the impact on potential risks within the organization.Additionally, it underscores the importance of accountability for AI outcomes, clear and accessible policy creation, and ensuring user understanding of AI decision-making processes.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The method of designing guideline values is based on the identification and analysis of existing risks.Subsequently, the author delineates four principles values that need to be implemented within the workplace.Here are the design frameworks for each guideline value that author propose:

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
AI usage in corporate environments is increasing, but ethical concerns arise due to potential misuse and security incidents.Lack of guidance and transparency in AI use are crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring responsible use in accordance with company moral values.Among these reasons, AI ethics policy is crucial in the workplace to ensure responsible AI usage, addressing potential misuse, ethical considerations, and societal impact.It emphasizes safety, justice, responsibility, and transparency, aiming to promote beneficial AI system while addressing potential harms.There are four principal guidance that might be helpful for the organisation to address the AI ethics issue.The principles guidance is related to the data privacy and security, accuracy and reliability, ethical use and inclusivity, and transparency.
Organization also should be aware to provide other activity for support this guideline.First, provide education and training the employees regarding the ethical use of AI practices and ensure that all employees understand the principles and guidelines that have been created.Second, continuously monitor and improve the implementation of ethical principles and guidelines for AI within the workplace environment.Lastly, review and update ethical principles and guidelines for AI regularly to ensure their relevance with technological advancement and corporate values.
