A reassuring and thought-provoking guide to all the big questions about AI and ethics

Should robots ever be considered free? Will computers transcend human intelligence? And what can we do to make sure AI is safe?

The artificial intelligence revolution has begun. Today, there are self-driving cars on our streets, autonomous weapons in our armies, robot surgeons in our hospitals - and AI's presence in our lives will only increase. Some see this as the dawn of new era in innovation and ease; others are alarmed by its destructive potential. But one thing is clear: this is a technology like no other, one that raises profound questions about freedom, justice and the very definition of human agency.

In Moral AI, world-renowned researchers in artificial intelligence and philosophy, Jana Schaich Borg, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Vince Conitzer tackle these thorny issues head-on. Writing lucidly and calmly, they lay out the recent advances in this still nascent field, peeling away the exaggeration and alarm, and offer clear examinations of the moral concerns at the heart of AI programmes. Ultimately, they argue that artificial intelligence can be built and used safely and ethically, but that its potential cannot be achieved without careful reflection on the values we wish to imbue it with.

This is an essential primer for any thinking person.

Want to understand AI and how we must make it reflect our values now?

An excellent book that captures who and how AI is being built, the biases that are hardwired in, the opportunities and dangers of its current path, and critically what must be done now to ensure that it reflects our values, our ethics, our law and society. Written by three brilliant researchers, the language is accessible and the actions succinct.

Thoughtful with concrete calls to action

This was an extremely helpful book as someone who works in product design. It gave concrete examples of ethical implications & situations, and proposed calls to action for all parts of a company working on AI products. The authors were very thoughtful and gave lots of theory to think about, and solid ways forward in the world of AI.
