Why We Worry About the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

As the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) grow more powerful, we are concerned the data science community is unprepared for the power we now wield. To be clear, we're big believers in the far-reaching good AI can do. Every week we learn of new advances that will dramatically improve the world. Recently we've seen research that could improve the way we control prosthetic devices, detect pneumonia, understand long-term patient trajectories, and monitor ocean health. By the time you read this, there will be even more examples.
