Should Robots Have Rights?
We hope you are all enjoying the run up to Christmas 2018! Here we have a selection of writing on perennial AI ethical themes — how priorities shape the impacts of organisations, the shrinking zone of social privacy, and how AI interacts with the law.
This week we have a Yuletide treat for our readers — a 20% discount on Robot Rules, Jacob Turner’s fascinating new book on the many ways artificial intelligence is changing the law. Among other thing, it raises the possibility of AIs getting legal personality — what consequences will these changes have? Readers can use this code for their discount: PM18TWENTY4
My colleague James Kingston has been hard at work on our upcoming AI Ethics primer, which gives you your ‘need to know’ introduction to the world of ethics in AI. Pre-register your interest here!
Security
Has the pursuit of ‘friction less’ businesses and experiences led to negative ethical externalities? Read on to find out?
Privacy
Advertisers can easily track you, your kid, your doctor, and the president
A particularly striking article on how much data we create through smartphone app usage, and how shallow notions of anonymity currently are.
Intelligence
You can buy a wearable camera to track your social life
Tech can now be used to track and optimise your in-person social and working life! With a shirt clipped camera, you can record all the people you speak to while a facial recognition system will help you put faces to names. Apparently this could be useful at conferences. Do we want a world where we are constantly tracked by those we chat to?
AI and Law
A thought-provoking piece by Jacob Turner, barrister and author of ‘Robot Rules’. Faced with increasingly autonomous and distributed systems, what laws will we put in place to manage this? Could giving robots legal personality be one?
