Microsoft says we need to talk about AI values

It's time for guiding principles for AI, says Microsoft. The company has called for the tech industry and governments to develop a consensus over the values and principles that will govern AI. Microsoft has repeatedly explained its desire to create artificial intelligence that assists humans without having a negative impact. In its list of the Top Ten tech issues for 2018, the company reiterated its desire to base AI on "societal principles" that are followed by every participant in the field. While many enterprise executives are already convinced by the possibilities that AI usage present, there are still major technical and ethical challenges to address, including the risk of bias, consumer rejection and irresponsibly developed applications.
