The benefits of artificial intelligence are manifest and manifold, but can we recognize the drawbacks … and avoid them in time?  

In this episode, recorded before a live audience at the Seattle meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, we discuss who is making the ethical decisions about how we use this powerful technology, and a proposal to create a Hippocratic Oath for AI researchers.

Guests:

  • Oren Etzioni – CEO of The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence
  • Mark HillProfessor of computer sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and chair of the Computing Community Consortium

Segments:
Part 1: AI Hippocratic Oath
Part 2: Helpful AI vs Ethical AI
Part 3: Expanding and Restricting AI
