Tech Philosophy and Ethics

Some of the top ethical concerns of AI.

Exploring some of the possible ethical issues regarding artificial intelligence.

What happens when artificial intelligence meets the law? A panel of experts discuss the ethical issues that automation presents to the legal profession.

Artificial Intelligence is the engineering of making intelligent machines such as computer programmes as per John Mc Carthy (1956).

As machines take over more decisions from humans, new questions about fairness, ethics, and morality arise.

AI is surrounded by marketing hype, jargon, inflated expectations, and fear. Two experts offer realistic and thoughtful ideas about AI in our society and economy.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

In the age of AI, how can we live with artificially intelligent machines and robots that may become more intelligent than us? An AI machine can be a computer or smart device; it can also be known as a robot that, with or without appendages, can emulate human life physically.

How can we implement AI technology while remaining faithful to our ethical obligations? The solution requires systematic effort.

With the rapid development of today’s technology, and particularly within the AI-sphere, ethical issues have followed as a result to the technology changing our daily lives.

“The more an AI system or a robot can understand the values of the people that it’s interacting with, the less conflict there’ll be.”

What happens when you make robots that are smart, independent thinkers — and then try to limit their autonomy? A $10 million gift is aimed at answering such questions at Carnegie Mellon University.

AI research raises profound questions—but answers are lacking.

AI promises a smarter world – a world where finance algorithms analyze data better than humans, self-driving cars save millions of lives from accidents, and medical robots eradicate disease. But machines aren’t perfect. Whether an automated trading agent buys the wrong stock, a self-driving car hits a pedestrian, or a medical robot misses a cancerous tumor – machines will make mistakes that severely impact human lives.

Four leading researchers share their concerns and solutions for reducing societal risks from intelligent machines.

Four people involved in the creation of an industry partnership say its intent will be clear: to ensure that A.I. research is focused on things that will benefit people, not hurt them.

Do electric sheep need shepherds?

Computers are learning from us—and that can mean introducing biases.

The question of robotic ethics is making everyone tense.

This is the website for a project based in the Computer Science Department, University of Oxford, ‘Towards a Code of Ethics for Artificial Intelligence Research’, which is being carried out by Professor Mike Wooldridge, Professor Peter Millican, and Dr Paula Boddington.

The philosophy of artificial intelligence attempts to answer such questions as follows.

The ethics of artificial intelligence is the part of the ethics of technology specific to robots and other artificially intelligent beings. It is typically[citation needed] divided into roboethics, a concern with the moral behavior of humans as they design, construct, use and treat artificially intelligent beings, and machine ethics, which is concerned with the moral behavior of artificial moral agents (AMAs).
