In the early 1950s, scientist and scholar Alan Turing described a future in which technology would become so advanced that machines would be able to mimic human behavior and thought processes so well that, when unseen, a human would no longer be able to tell the difference between communicating with a machine and a human being. We hear more and more claims on passing the test by a number of different machines. Research and development on AI continue and the technology advances daily, creating a need to consider the ethical behaviors these machines are capable of displaying. The discussion of machine ethics has emerged as a dominant academic debate. The sheer scope of technology's presence in everyday life and the increasing reliance upon them makes it a very important topic. AI is power to corporations, to increase, to dominate, but with great power comes great responsibility. This track will focus on the ethical aspects of AI, how to ensure that the AI systems are always aligned with benevolent goals, how to govern and regulate AI to ensure its safety.
