Kangaroo Court: Developing Trustworthy AI

AI ethics is a sub-field of applied ethics, focusing on the ethical issues raised by the development, deployment and use of AI. Its central concern is to identify how AI can advance or raise concerns to the good life of individuals, whether in terms of quality of life, or human autonomy and freedom necessary for a democratic society. As with any powerful technology, the use of AI systems in our society raises several ethical challenges, for instance relating to their impact on people and society, decision-making capabilities, and safety. If we are increasingly going to use the assistance of or delegate decisions to AI systems, we need to make sure these systems are fair in their impact on people's lives, that they are in line with values that should not be compromised and able to act accordingly, and that suitable accountability processes can ensure this. Public anxiety over possible problems has led many nongovernment academic, corporate organizations to put forward declarations on the need to protect basic human rights in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
