Ethics in AI is an important topic. There are concerned scholars, technologists, artists, teachers and more sharing the ways in which AI can and cannot be used in ethical ways.
Understanding the ethical concerns of AI can be helpful whether you choose to engage with the tools or not, and if you are pro-AI, it can better allow you to connect with students who may have their own qualms with its use.
Within higher education spaces, much of the discussion centers on the ethics of writing and citation, and how students can use AI responsibly. (Check out this post from Ditch That Textbook, which considers what "cheating" is in the context of students using AI).
For artists and those in the humanities, there are concerns with AI handles intellectual property and removes human-centered art-making. There is also innate bias found in AI that, while present in written form, can be quite obvious in how it can visually perpetuate stereotypes, as Rest of World shows in this article.

More broadly, AI uses quite a bit of water and energy (as seen in this article on Vox), and digital citizenship concerns run afoul when generative AI is used for defamatory purposes.
