This landmark collection offers a first-rate introduction to the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. Wide-ranging, accessible, and authoritative, it will be an essential guide to some of the most important issues of our time. * Huw Price, University of Cambridge *
In a world that too often asks 'Can we?' without asking 'Should we?', this exciting collection confronts us with some of the best new thinking on the ethics of AI. From the moral status of machine learning systems to algorithmic bias, it is bound to shape future discussions of this most important topic. * Michael Patrick Lynch, University of Connecticut *
