AI Needs a Strong Code of Ethics to Keep its Dark Side From Overtaking us
Over the past four years, the Institute for Technology, Ethics, and Culture in Silicon Valley (ITEC), in collaboration with the Vatican's Center for Digital Culture, has been striving to bridge the gap between noble intentions and actionable guidance in the field of tech development.
"Our belief is that such guidance for getting specific when moving from principles to practice will promote agency and action among tech leaders. Rather than doing little or nothing about a nebulous impending tech-doom, industry leaders can now check their practices to see where they might improve. And they can ask their peer organizations if they are doing the same."
Brian Green, director of technology ethics and Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics, both at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and authors of “The ITEC Handbook," and Paul Tighe, secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Culture and Education, published in MarketWatch.
