As artificial intelligence progresses, what does real responsibility look like?

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies--and the data driven business models underpinning them--are disrupting how we live, interact, work, do business, and govern. The economic, social and environmental benefits could be significant, for example in the realms of medical research, urban design, fair employment practices, political participation, public service delivery. But evidence is mounting about the potential negative consequences for society and individuals. These include the erosion of privacy, online hate speech, and the distortion of political engagement. They also include amplifying socially embedded discrimination where algorithms based on bias training data are used in criminal sentencing or job advertising and recruitment.
