Abstract
The convergence of AI, IoT, and blockchain as the next disruptive technology is inevitable. Studying the ethics of these converged technologies is crucial for the steady development and adoption of the applications. Even though this topic is crucial, it is still not yet touched in the literature. This work is the first attempt to tackle this issue by developing a conceptual ethics framework for converged AI, IoT, and blockchain. The framework is based on a systematic literature review and categorizes the ethical issues into three layers namely micro (ethical issue involving the technology itself), meso (ethical issue involving the applications), and macro (ethical issue involving the society and institutions).
