Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

This is the first volume to provide an overview of critical perspectives on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), at a point when growth in AI technologies has exploded but the study of the difficult moral problems presented by AI use is only in its infancy. The book features seventeen essays, organized into four sections, written by leading academics and prominent figures in the field, many representing well-known big tech companies. Some topics covered include self-driving cars and autonomous drones, caretaking robots, and the possible consciousness of superintelligent AI systems.
