Abstract
There’s a lot of discussion in many different fora about AI and Ethics. In this talk, I’ll attempt to identify what new issues AI brings to the table, as well as where AI requires us to address otherwise old issues. I will cover topics from autonomous cars via predictive analytics to killer robots.
