AI must be 'for common good'

Ethics should be at the centre of the development of artificial intelligence (AI), a parliamentary report has said. AI should "never" be given the "autonomous power to hurt, destroy or deceive" people, it adds. The Lords' report said the UK has the potential to be a leader in developing AI and called on the government to support businesses in the field. It also recommended that people be educated to work alongside AI in the jobs of the future. It said that such education would "mitigate the negative effects" on jobs which are possible as AI develops.
