AI assisted ethics
The growing number of 'smart' instruments, those equipped with AI, has raised concerns because these instruments make autonomous decisions; that is, they act beyond the guidelines provided them by programmers. Hence, the question the makers and users of smart instrument (e.g. driver less cars) face is how to ensure that these instruments will not engage in unethical conduct (not to be conflated with illegal conduct) The article suggests that to proceed we need a new kind of AI program oversight programs that will monitor, audit, and hold operational AI programs accountable.
