Ethics and Transparency: How We Can Reach Trusted AI

In popular fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) often goes rogue. Arthur C Clarke's soft-spoken HAL 9000 in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" turns sinister, killing astronauts on a mission to Jupiter. Remember Skynet, the antagonist with genocidal goals from James Cameron's movies "The Terminator" and "Judgment Day"? Fiction now seems to be spilling over into real life. AI has run amok and been benched in multiple business deployments. In one instance, an AI had to be shut off after it spewed outrageously lewd and racist comments within 16 hours of being launched because of data poisoning.
