As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies rapidly progress, questions about the ethics of AI, in both the near-future and the long-term, become more pressing than ever. This volume features seventeen original essays by prominent AI scientists and philosophers and represents the state-of-the-art thinking in this fast-growing field. Organized into four sections, this volume explores the issues surrounding how to build ethics into machines; ethical issues in specific technologies, including self-driving cars, autonomous weapon systems, surveillance algorithms, and sex robots; the long term risks of superintelligence; and whether AI systems can be conscious or have rights. Though the use and practical applications of AI are growing exponentially, discussion of its ethical implications is still in its infancy. This volume provides an invaluable resource for thinking through the ethical issues surrounding AI today and for shaping the study and development of AI in the coming years.
This is a superior work, particularly considering that it is an edited volume. All the articles are first-rate, and the four-part arrangement advances the argument organically...Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. Students in two-year technical programs. General readers. * J. A. Stever, CHOICE *
This landmark collection offers a first-rate introduction to the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. Wide-ranging, accessible, and authoritative, it will be an essential guide to some of the most important issues of our time. * Huw Price, University of Cambridge *
In a world that too often asks 'Can we?' without asking 'Should we?', this exciting collection confronts us with some of the best new thinking on the ethics of AI. From the moral status of machine learning systems to algorithmic bias, it is bound to shape future discussions of this most important topic. * Michael Patrick Lynch, University of Connecticut *
This volume is ideal for anyone who wants a comprehensive introduction to the ethical issues surrounding the design and use of AI technologies. Dr. S. Matthew Liao provides an outstanding collaborative exchange between AI researchers and philosophers. I have no doubt that it will become required reading in courses on AI and ethics. * Tina Eliassi-Rad, Northeastern University *
