Recommendation

Would the world be a different place if people in the 19th century had been able to foresee the industrial revolution’s devastating impact on the environment? Of course, no one will ever know the answer, but people can try to do better when it comes to the technological revolution that is taking the 21st century by storm: Artificial Intelligence (AI). In a Science magazine article, Mariarosaria Taddeo and Luciano Floridi discuss the importance of developing ethical guidelines to pre-empt the potential negative consequences of AI. The article will engage anyone concerned with the social and ethical impact of AI.

Take-Aways

  • The Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution has created the need for ethical rules guiding the technology’s development and usage.
  • A first set of rules governing AI must address the delegation of tasks and the ascription of responsibility.
  • A second set of AI-related ethical guidelines must help safeguard human self-determination.
