The ethics of artificial intelligence is a hot topic as fears and fascination dominate the public discussion. On October 17th, 2019 philosopher of technology and author Professor Mark Coeckelbergh will be the first guest speaker in our winter term public lecture Series “Taming the Machines”. His talk moves away from science fiction and calls attention for more urgent and detailed ethical analysis of issues such as responsibility, transparency, and bias in the AI systems we have today. It also offers some recommendations for policy in this area.
