Ethical Machines

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.
