The purpose of this paper is to study the ethical concerns of embedding Artificial Intelligence (AI) into systems such as surveillance. The ethical concerns that might derive from mismanaged technology will be explained as a specific objective it. The research question is: How do we create a safe society without putting at risk smaller social groups? The initial hypothesis is that institutions charged with the responsibility to ensure public safety are to utilise systems that are ethically appropriate, such as algorithms that are not predefined to automatically target someone based on their race, ethnicity, confession, or other indices. The research method used is descriptive, being a qualitative analysis, that follows from the understanding the theory behind AI systems, as well as real-life case studies. The main conclusion of the research is that currently even the technological giants are encountering difficulties in developing software that is not prone to misjudgments. Developing such software requires great responsibility and social commitment both from the software engineers as well as from the government.
