Good and Bad Beyond the Control of Researchers: Who Controls AI?

Artificial Intelligence technology development, application, and production are growing rapidly. As we being to understand the scope of the change that lies ahead, two simple questions come to mind. First, is it even possible to ensure that the technology is developed solely for the benefit of the humankind and not to cause harm? Second, if such an ideal is achieved, who controls and monitors it? The first assumption we have to make – and frankly it is not a big leap – is that artificial intelligence technology, like other technologies, can be used to do both good and bad.
