    In the fast evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ethical practices are critical for responsible project deployment. This paper explores the nexus of ethics and AI initiatives, addressing the complexity of quantifying ethical criteria amid uncertainty. It examines how communicative practices, organizational structures, and enabling technologies contest AI, framing its societal implications. Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to assess project performance and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) to model uncertainties via Fuzzy logic, the study develops a framework for ethical AI evaluation. A Fuzzy weighted average approach navigates challenges in measuring transparency, fairness, accountability, privacy, security, explainability, human involvement, and societal impact. The research investigates AI's role in reshaping organizational communication and decision-making, contextualizing ethics within enabling technologies and structures. By integrating ANN and ANFIS, this work enhances understanding of AI's ethical dimensions and proposes a path for accountable, innovative AI systems.
