I would reserve the question of ethical A.I. until we are approaching strong A.I. As of now, where A.I. (specifically ML/DL) is mostly used to solve isolated problems the question of ethics is more about the use of the technology. Technology itself is ethically neutral and the ethical framework is provided by the people that use it (and arguably implement it). I also feel like ethics if A.I. posts/books etc. generally focus too much the bad use case and not enough on the good use case. One can find a lot about the potential issues of autonomous vehicles killing someone in a crash or A.I. surgeons cutting an artery but the other side of the coin is usually under-investigated. How ethical is it to limit autonomous vehicles if they are statistically more safe than human drivers. How ethical is it to put regulations on the use of automated ML in medicine to scan for cancer and require a human to sign off if the human is statistically more likely to make a mistake. Not trying to argue either side but I think the "how ethical is it to not use A.I." case is under-argued.
