How To Teach Artificial Intelligence Morality and Ethics
In today's episode, we have Devin Gonier on the show - a passionate machine learning expert from the U.S., who will take us deep into artificial intelligence morality and ethics. Devin is the CTO of a machine learning company WageUp, has a Masters degree in machine learning, and a double major in philosophy and religion. He argues that the best way to apply philosophy in our modern society is to, in fact, work with artificial intelligence. Is there a way to teach artificial intelligence morality and ethics? What is right or wrong? How can we teach a machine moral and ethics, when in fact philosophers cannot even agree on what is right or wrong? In a Ted Talk at Austin College, he explains how humans learn what is good and bad, and how machines could learn morals the same way as humans. As morality and ethics is such a complex matter, perhaps we should replicate our human way of learning moral behaviour to machines - instead of trying to find one single algorithm that defines moral behaviour. Episode learnings: How we can teach artificial intelligence morality and ethics What is AI safety and how we can keep machines safe for humanity Why philosophy is an increasingly important study subject in a world powered by AI What an AI world built for humanity, not against, could look like Devin Gonier has also written a paper on this topic and is currently starting a blog to share more of his ideas.
