  ABSTRACT: Addressing the existing gap in ethical research surrounding distinct technical characteristics of Robotic Process Automation enhanced with Artificial Intelligence (AI-RPA), this analysis examines the unique ethical dimensions by positioning AI-RPA as a distinct technological subdivision. From an analytical perspective, this study highlights key characteristics such as minimal reliance on programming, rapid development cycles, and restricted algorithmic control, which differentiate AI-RPA from traditional AI systems. These characteristics underscore the need for tailored ethical considerations, to identify ethical perils within AI-RPA’s technological origins. By positioning AI-RPA as a distinct subdivision and examining its unique characteristics alongside their emerging ethical challenges, this paper enriches the evolving discourse on AI ethics, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and organizations implementing AI-RPA technologies.
