Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Who does the thinking? -- IEEE Summit 2016
Brussels, Belgium
This major one-day Summit from IEEE – the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity – considered AI and Ethics and posed the question, ‘Who does the thinking?’ In a series of keynote speeches and lively panel discussions, the summit brought together leading technologists, legal thinkers, philosophers, social scientists, manufacturers and policy makers to:
- Consider the social, technological, legal, and philosophical questions surrounding this ongoing international debate, including the best ways to manage risk and reward.
- Consider proposals to program ethical algorithms with human values into machines, since autonomous machines will likely confront situations in which their actions will have ethical consequences.
- Consider the social implications of the applications of Artificial Intelligence in fields as diverse as healthcare, education, finance, transportation, and warfare.
