Standardizing Ethical Design For Artificial Intelligence And Autonomous Systems - Liwaiwai

While there is a wide expanse of applications artificial intelligence (AI) brings to the table, some are still concerned about how the technology can be an equally powerful tool to cause harm. In line with this, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Society Standards and Activities Board proposed some standards for the use and development of AI. The implications of the said standardization were intensively discussed in the paper, "Standardizing Ethical Design for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems" by Joanna Bryson and Alan Winfield. A common fear about AI is that the technology will be advanced enough to transcend the ability of humans. This will then enable them to predate the human race to extinction.
