AI and Ethics Handbook

This Handbook summarizes in everyday language the ethical, regulatory, and policy implications that arise from the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Designed to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical professionals, it focuses on where AI techniques, tools, and technologies may lead in the future. Particular attention is given to the potential intentional and unintentional misuses of AI, and how these misuses may be prevented.

Coverage includes:

• Ethical questions and concerns that arise from basic research and the design and use of practical applications of AI
• Regulatory frameworks and guidelines, including self-regulation and constraints, and controls on development and implementation of AI technologies
• Emergent public policy and the possibility of legislative interventions linked to current and future ethical issues related to the use of AI technologies and their applications
• How to balance the relation between technology-law-society
• Data provenance and validity
