Book Description

This open access book proposes a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics. AI offers many advantages: better and faster medical diagnoses, improved business processes and efficiency, and the automation of boring work.

But undesirable and ethically problematic consequences are possible too: biases and discrimination, breaches of privacy and security, and societal distortions such as unemployment, economic exploitation and weakened democratic processes. There is even a prospect, ultimately, of super-intelligent machines replacing humans

The key question, then, is: how can we benefit from AI while addressing its ethical problems? This book presents an innovative answer to the question by presenting a different perspective on AI and its ethical consequences.

Instead of looking at individual AI techniques, applications or ethical issues, we can understand AI as a system of ecosystems, consisting of numerous interdependent technologies, applications and stakeholders.

Developing this idea, the book explores how AI ecosystems can be shaped to foster human flourishing. Drawing on rich empirical insights and detailed conceptual analysis, it suggests practical measures to ensure that AI is used to make the world a better place.

• Bernd Carsten Stahl is Professor of Critical Research in Technology and Director of the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. His interests cover philosophical issues arising from the intersections of business, technology, and information.

• What Was Artificial Intelligence? (Sue Curry Jansen)

  Prescient autopsy of AI self-selling - the rhetoric of the masculinist sublime - is reprinted with a new introduction. Now an open access book, it's a message in a bottle, addressed to Musk, Bezos, and the latest generation of AI myth-makers.

• Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents

  This text is a modern and coherent introduction to the field of Artificial Intelligence that uses rational computational agents and logic as unifying threads in this vast field. Many fully worked out examples, expanded coverage on machine learning material, etc.

• Robots and AI (Lili Yan Ing, et al)

  The book explains new approaches on how robots and artificial intelligence affect the world economy by presenting detailed theoretical framework and country-specific as well as firm-product level-specific exercises.

• Paths: Why is Life Filled with so many Detours?

  This book explores the amazing similarity between paths taken by people and many other things in life, and its impact on the way we live, teach and learn. Offering insights into the new scientific field of paths as part of the science of networks, etc.

• Making AI Intelligible (Herman Cappelen, et al.)

  Can humans and artificial intelligences share concepts and communicate? The questions addressed in the book are not only theoretically interesting, but the answers have pressing practical implications.

• On the Path to AI: Foundations of the Machine Learning Age

  This book explores machine learning and its impact on how we make sense of the world. It introduces readers to the key concepts of machine learning, discusses the potential applications and limitations of predictions generated by machines using data.

• How Humans Judge Machines (Cesar A. Hidalgo, et al)

  A detailed examination of people's reactions to machine actions as compared to human actions. Through dozens of experiments, this book explores when and why people judge humans and machines differently.

• The Amazing Journey of Reason: from DNA to Artificial Intelligence

  This book analyses the evolution of complex structures (Organisms, or organized, living, systems) in the universe - from the subatomic particles after the Big Bang onwards - in order to understand the emergence of today's interconnected society.

• AI Art: Machine Visions and Warped Dreams (Joanna Zylinska)

  The book critically examines artworks that use AI, be it in the form of visual style transfer, algorithmic experiment or critical commentary. It also engages with their predecessors, including robotic art and net art.

• Linguistics for the Age of AI (Marjorie McShane, et al)

  This book summarizes an exciting approach to knowledge-rich natural language understanding, in the context of language - using AI agents. Anyone interested in building cognitive systems that use language should read this book.

• AI based Robot Safe Learning and Control (Xuefeng Zhou, et al)

  This book mainly focuses on the safe control of robot manipulators. The control schemes are mainly developed based on dynamic neural network, which is an important theoretical branch of deep reinforcement learning.
