AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues. Written by a philosopher of technology, \u003ci\u003eAI Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond the usual hype and nightmare scenarios to address concrete questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mark Coeckelbergh describes influential AI narratives, ranging from Frankenstein's monster to transhumanism and the technological singularity. He surveys relevant philosophical discussions: questions about the fundamental differences between humans and machines and debates over the moral status of AI. He explains the technology of AI, describing different approaches and focusing on machine learning and data science. He offers an overview of important ethical issues, including privacy concerns, responsibility and the delegation of decision making, transparency, and bias as it arises at all stages of data science processes. He also considers the future of work in an AI economy. Finally, he analyzes a range of policy proposals and discusses challenges for policymakers. He argues for ethical practices that embed values in design, translate democratic values into practices and include a vision of the good life and the good society.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Coeckelbergh is Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vienna and author of \u003ci\u003eNew Romantic Cyborgs: Romanticism, Information Technology, and the End of the Machine\u003c\/i\u003e (MIT Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 6.9 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49166253686938,"sku":"9780262538190","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/1197\/0458\/files\/FJJUHU06R89780262538190.webp?v=1788374770"},{"product_id":"ai-snake-oil-what-artificial-intelligence-can-do-what-it-cant-and-how-to-tell-the-difference-hardcover","title":"AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Tell the Difference","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eArvind Narayanan\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eSayash Kapoor\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom two of \u003ci\u003eTIME'\u003c\/i\u003es 100 Most Influential People in AI, what you need to know about AI--and how to defend yourself against bogus AI claims and products\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConfused about AI and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world?

The short and sweet book is divided into 7 sections: \"Thought and Character,\" \"Effect of Thought on Circumstances,\" \"Effect of Thought on Health and the Body,\" \"Thought and Purpose,\" \"The Thought-Factor in Achievement,\" \"Visions and Ideals,\" and \"Serenity.\" Allen's message of envisioning and creating the life one wants to lead, that one's thoughts determine who one is and even how one ages, and how vital it is to lead a life of character and purpose, is sure to resonate. Allen's wisdom has a certain gravitas and is all the more inspiring given his challenging and inspiring life story. Born in England in 1864, Allen had to begin working at the age of fifteen after his father was murdered while seeking work in America. Allen thus worked for nine years as a factory knitter, then secretary.
