Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just in sci-fi movies or comics. It is the tiny voice in your phone called a voice assistant, the recommendations you see when you open your favorite streaming service, and your car’s driver. As AI systems subtly thread themselves into our daily lives, they carry not only impressive capabilities and convenience but also adverse effects. From deciding who is going to get a loan to identifying faces in public domains, AI systems increasingly influence our world and not always for the better. For this reason, ethical AI is concerning not just for philosophers or policy makers but for me and you, the builders. It is an important tool in our arsenal as engineers, designers, developers, and decision makers building the future today.
