Fireside Chat: ‘Framework for Ethical AI’

During a Fireside chat, we discuss the need for a universal framework for ethical AI development.

As with any useful advancement, AI will be a little bit of a mixed bag. Most AI applications will be designed for the greater good, but there will always be outlying cases. The increase in autonomous applications that carry with them the potential to put humans in danger drives home the need for a universal code of conduct for AI development. A few years ago this would have sounded preposterous, but things are changing fast.
