Machines Behaving Badly – Toby Walsh in conversation with Lyria Bennett Moses

Can we build moral machines? Toby Walsh and Lyria Bennett Moses discuss the ethical issues we face in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is an essential part of our lives – for better or worse. AI can be used to influence what we buy, who gets shortlisted for a job and even how we vote. But as we continue to build more intelligent and autonomous machines, what impact will this have on humanity and the planet? And given the increasing human reliance on AI, what decisions need to be made now to ensure the future of AI is as a force for good, not evil?
