What does it mean to build artificial intelligence (AI) and how can we achieve accountability for its impact? This book shines a light on current and future AI ethics topics viewed through the lenses of 30 global practitioners and academics. Connecting industry applications, philosophical considerations, and creative portrayals by authors and screenwriters in science fiction and beyond, this novel multidisciplinary approach allows the reader to reflect on questions such as How does it feel to play against machines can we still call it sport?; Would you trust a machine with your money?; What is it like when AI follows Buddhist teaching?; and What can the history of robot science fiction teach us about ethics?.

Through their professional work and academic research, the three editors have collaborated with individuals and companies exploring the opportunities and threats posed by AI and other emerging technologies. They bring scientific, entrepreneurial, and industrial experience, allowing both general as well as technical perspectives to be considered here. In response to increasing public concern with AI ethics, this book tackles the subject in an accessible and thought-provoking format.

Offers practical and industrial implications of AI ethics discourse for business leaders and practitioners Discusses science fiction and scenario thinking perspectives in the context of future studies Provides an analysis of expected AI developments by 2030 and beyond
