The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into urban planning raises significant ethical concerns, including bias, transparency, accountability, privacy, and misinformation. As planners increasingly rely on AI for decision-making, the potential for these systems to perpetuate biases, obscure decision-making processes, and infringe on privacy becomes more pronounced, potentially undermining public trust and excluding marginalized communities. This review essay examines the ethical challenges of AI in urban planning, highlighting the need for transparency, inclusive data sets, public engagement, and robust ethical guidelines. Key ethical concerns include bias in AI systems, which can lead to unequal outcomes, and privacy issues due to extensive data collection. The article also discusses the importance of accountability and transparency in AI-driven decision-making, as well as the risks of misinformation and disinformation in urban planning. Recommendations for ethical AI implementation emphasize the need for human oversight, continuous monitoring, and community engagement to ensure that AI is used responsibly and equitably in urban development. The article concludes with a call for ongoing research and adaptive strategies to address the ethical implications of AI in urban planning.The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into urban planning raises significant ethical concerns, including bias, transparency, accountability, privacy, and misinformation.
