AI: using trust and ethics to accelerate adoption

Due to the most recent progresses in machine learning, big data and computational power, artificial intelligence (AI) is widely accepted as having the potential to transform every industry and to overcome the biggest challenges facing society. AI may well be a revolution in human affairs and become the single most influential innovation in history. As with so many technological breakthroughs, progress in AI technologies has moved faster than society. We need a better understanding of how AI transforms our societies, who is most affected, why, and the consequences. Social and behavioural sciences will be crucial to make sense of these shifts and help us navigate them.
