AI Ethics (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)

AI is everywhere these days: in the headlines, in refrigerators, in the algorithms that suggest your next Amazon purchase. There is a pressing need to get out ahead of AI design, to include what we want it to be in its crafting, even as the horse seems to be already out of the barn. ChatGPT can already write a better review of this book than most of us who make such attempts. This volume, accessible to the lay reader without being "dumbed down," will help to open your mind to the need for deliberate, thoughtful approaches to the design and training of AI so that it does not simply reinforce inequitable systems. Do you care about issues of privacy? Social justice? Meaningful political discourse? Then take a few hours to learn about how what we do and say now will shape the future through the most powerful and adaptable technology of our time.

Great read, very easy to understand for merely-curious non-experts. Also, I got a microscopic papercut on my thumb - no bleeding but still hurt for a few seconds. Not the book or author's fault.

It serves as a good springboard to further research. Touching on significant issues, challenges and opportunities we need to address with AI. Minimal engagement with philosophy, politics or sociology. Appreciated the policy scope highlighted at the end.

Good book for AI class on ethics.

This book made for some interesting reading last summer. It was published in 2020, so it is now a bit dated. However, the author touches on a number of relevant issues and policy considerations that loom as AI continues to increase its foothold on the world of work, play, creativity and competition.

AI Ethics is a great read. It got me invested in the entire line of MIT books, definitely try it out!

Un enfoque interesante que invita a la reflexión.

Exceptional primer on AI ethics. Coeckelbergh is a superior communicator who distills vast amounts of knowledge with clarity and ease. It’s a helpful and inspiring read that will benefit anyone interested in understanding the core ethical questions about artificial intelligence.
