The focus in the industry, in politics and for the public is now on the ethics of AI. He will discuss the principal ethical issues in AI, which have grown in importance as the technology has developed. He will consider whether there is such a thing as AI ethics, or just ethics and will review the demand for regulation to address the ethical issues raised.
