Averting Disaster by Building Human Ethics into AI

Description:

The ethics of AI may be the single most challenging issue for society to confront as the technology advances at an ever-increasing pace. The ethical implications will only get more challenging as AI systems get smarter and more deeply embedded in the fabric of society. Our panel of experts will discuss ethical issues in AI applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to medical diagnostics and military technologies and the impact of AI on privacy, bias, and jobs. We will explore different perspectives and consider tradeoffs between automation and retention of human values. We will discuss different approaches to integrating human ethics into AI systems, considering the most challenging cases, where the biggest threats exist.
