Scott Petry, co-founder and CEO of Authentic8, maker of Silo, a platform for secure and controlled access to the web. Security misconfiguration and broken authentication. It plays out time and again: A bad person invents a way to attack a computer or a network. A good person discovers the attack and figures out how to detect future attacks. More good people build on that work and learn how to block them.

From whence did this concept of AI'Ethics' derive? Digital systems that caused great harm to people via injustice, discrimination or exclusion, privacy or just plain cheating, not to mention the environment, have been with us for decades. Ethical issues in analytics and models did not arise with Big Data, Data Science or AI -- they have been with us for a long time. Was there ever a COBOL Ethics, a DB2 Ethics?, an ERP Ethics (well maybe)? This whole fascination with AI Ethics derives from, in my opinion, Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.

How dangerous will artificial general intelligence (aka super intelligence) really be? It depends on who you ask. Elon Musk believes unregulated AI will kill us all, while Steven Pinker asks us not to assume all intelligence is evil and callous, and suggests safeguards can prevent the worst-case scenario. In this video, Elon Musk, Steven Pinker, Michio Kaku, Max Tegmark, Luis Perez-Breva, Joscha Bach and Sophia the Robot herself all weigh in on the debate.

Facial recognition technology has run amok across the globe. In the US it continues to perpetuate at an alarming rate despite bipartisan push-back from politicians and several geographical bans. Even China's government has begun to question whether there's enough benefit to the use of ubiquitous surveillance tech to justify the utter destruction of public privacy. The truth of the matter is that facial recognition technology serves only two legitimate purposes: access control and surveillance. And, far too often, the people developing the technology aren't the ones who ultimately determine how it's used. Most decent, law-abiding citizens don't mind being filmed in public and, to a certain degree, would tend to take no exception to the use of facial recognition technology in places where it makes sense.

Yasmin Green leads a team at Google's parent company with an audacious goal: solving the thorniest geopolitical problems that emerge online. Jigsaw, where she is the head of research and development, is a think tank within Alphabet tasked with fighting the unintended unsavory consequences of technological progress. That means listening to fake news creators, jihadis, and cyber bullies so that she and her team can understand their motivations, processes, and goals. "We look at censorship, cybersecurity, cyberattacks, ISIS--everything the creators of the internet did not imagine the internet would be used for," Green said today at WIRED's 2017 Business Conference in New York. Last week, Green traveled to Macedonia to meet with peddlers of fake news, those click-hungry opportunists who had such a sway over the 2016 presidential election in the US.

HBO's Westworld is a show about technological anxiety, explored through the lens of a futuristic theme park where you can live out your wildest fantasies with hundreds of almost perfectly lifelike (and increasingly self-aware) animatronic "hosts." It is also, as many people have pointed out, a series about video games. Creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have explicitly compared the titular park to violent open-world games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, the latter sharing a similar Western setting. The designers of the theme park face headaches straight out of the games industry, like pushing out updates before testing for bugs or writing dramatic speeches knowing they'll be cut short when a player just shoots the monologuing character. In addition to overarching questions about artificial intelligence and interactive storytelling, the show aims to hold a dark mirror to present-day entertainment, particularly the violent and hedonistic side of games.
