A balanced and thought-provoking guide to all the important questions regarding artificial intelligence and ethics. Can computers understand morality? Can they respect privacy? And what can we do to make AI safe and fair? The revolution of artificial intelligence has begun. Today, autonomous vehicles are on our roads, automated weapons are in our armed forces, and robots are performing surgeries in our hospitals – and the presence of AI in our lives will continue to grow. Some see it as the dawn of a new era of innovation, while others worry about its destructive potential. But one thing is clear: this is a unique technology that raises profound questions about the very concepts of human intelligence and morality. In the book Moral AI, renowned researchers in moral psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence – Jana Schaich Borg, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, and Vincent Conitzer – aim to examine these difficult questions. Writing clearly and calmly, they present recent developments in this emerging field, revealing exaggerations and misleading claims. They offer clear investigations into the ethical concerns at the heart of AI programs, from racial equality to personal privacy, false news, and autonomous weapons. Ultimately, they argue that artificial intelligence can be built and used safely and ethically, but its potential cannot be achieved without careful reflection on the values we wish to instill in it. This is an essential guide for every thoughtful individual. Pages: 304, Year of Publication: 0513, Dimensions: 11.1x11.1cm
