Harvard Business Review on Moral Ethical AI
January 7, 2019
I love it when institutions which have a fine track record of generating highly ethical admission, investment, and curricula embrace AI big thoughts. I love references that everyone in Harrod’s Creek, Kentucky, understands and resonates. (Note the categorical affirmative because rural Kentucky is a bubbling pool of intellectual magma.)
Smart software seems to be one of the big topics in 2019 and we are only seven days into the new year. The main point of the HBR write up is to cheerlead for:
take[ing] the standards by which artificial intelligences will operate just as seriously as those that govern how our political systems operate and how are children are educated. It is a responsibility that we cannot shirk.
How will this work in a Harvard MBA fueled environment?
How are those ethics in business courses going? Wasn’t Mr. Zuckerberg admitted to Harvard where he hatched or appropriated for the Facebook service? How about professors who teach one thing and consult another and still manage to find the time to hold office hours—once in a while.
The problem with smart software is the problem of folks who want to get rich quick, break things, and invent the future.
Barn burned. Horses gone. New Amazon campus built on the land once occupied by an institution of higher education. Maybe today that should be “hire” education?
Yep, Aristotle’s son is a consultant to Google too. He may have been working on the Google AI which banned Winston Churchill card game because the entertainment depicts a cigar.
