4.0 out of 5 starsWill Homo Sapiens 2.0 be our future?
By The European on May 11, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The future belongs to AI. This is a statement I think everyone can agree with. The difficult question is: which AI? The optimistic outlook on AI which Ray Kurzweil describes or the pessimistic one of James Barrat?

To find an answer this book might be great help. Machine Ethics is a reader which means different authors present their ideas on how ethics can be implemented to make AI somewhat controllable and human-friendly. (Friendly AI by the way is an expression coined by Eliezer Yudkowski and expresses in an unagitated way the hopes of mindful researchers).

Machine ethics is divided into five parts and gives an overview about the main issues machine ethics is concerned about: nature, importance, concerns, approaches and visions. The editors, Susan Leigh Anderson and Michael Anderson, present here a readable and comprehensive intro into machine ethics.

A great help are the introductions to the different parts where the editors describe in an understandable and interesting way the main ideas of the different articles. Without these introductions it might have been difficult to understand the impact of the numerous articles if the reader is not updated on the "big" names within the field. Anderson/Anderson have brought together different views expressed by Drew McDermott, Wendell Wallach, J. Storrs Hall, Steve Torrance, Eric Dietrich to name but a few of the contributors. I personally missed Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom or Bill Hibbard, each of them an authority in the field of AI ethics.

The tenor of the articles is that ethics is necessary and should be in one or the other way be built into any machine with the qualities future AI machines are going to be endowed with.Read more ›
