Abstract |
the media are full not only of stories on the successs of AI, but also with stories about the concerns of unintended consequences of potentially uncontrollable AI. Fortunately, this debate is no longer limited to scaremongering journalists or ill-informed politicians, but is also being taken up by the scientists themselves. I will give a brief overview of a number of recent activities in the scientific community around "AI for Human Values", including Stanford's recent "100 year AI report", the Duch Zwaartekracht consortium on Responsible Data Science, the open letter signed by 15000 AI researchers last year, the debates and activities at the recent European AI Conference, and the concern about the Dutch government's policy on autonomous weapon systems. |
