Tech Giants Are Uniting to Develop A Set of Ethics for AI

Contrary to fictional portrayals of humans being herded like animals by Artificially Intelligent (AI) machines, realistic concerns about artificial intelligence are far more benign. Still, they are very important, and conversations have to begin in order to look at perhaps setting some ground rules. That's why the big players are stepping up. Researchers and scientists from large tech companies Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Facebook have been meeting and discussing the future implications of AI for humans. While no hard details on the group's policies, objectives, or even it's name have come out, insiders have stated the group's intentions: to ensure that A.I. research is focused on benefiting people, not hurting them.
