Equitable AI

by David Meyer

CEO and former philosophy professor Reid Blackman provides a detailed, thoughtful and thoroughly applicable ethical guide for companies vested in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).

Former philosophy professor Reid Blackman is founder and CEO of Virtue, and works with companies to integrate ethical risk mitigation into the development, procurement and deployment of emerging technology. In Ethical Machines, he argues that AI’s ethical problems affect humans and business ventures, and will worsen as AI scales up.

Ethics and AI

Businesspeople, scientists and engineers work with hard facts, not abstract concepts like ethics. Blackman emphasizes that ethics have practical applications.
