Ethically-tangled aspects of 21st century societies and cultures. In the vein of Charles Darwin’s 1859 “entangled bank” metaphor—a complex and evolving digital ecosystem of difference and dependence, where humans, technologies, ethics, law, policy, data, and information converge and diverge.

Elon Musk drawn into farting unicorn dispute with potter; The Guardian, June 27, 2018
[Kip
Currier: Given the facts as presented in this article (and knowing that
the U.S. only recognizes "moral rights" vis-a-vis the very narrow Visual Artists Right Act [VARA]), is there anyone who still doesn't think that at the very least the "decent" thing to do would have been for Elon Musk/Tesla to provide attribution
(let alone some kind of compensation) when repeatedly using Tom
Edwards' image? Imagine if the situation were reversed and someone was
using Elon Musk's "original expressions" without attribution.]
"Edwards said he wanted to speak out in part because he often hears similar stories from artists. “I realize my farting unicorn is not as serious as whistleblowers,” he said, “but honestly, it’s all about integrity.”
He added: “I’d really like to get on Elon Musk’s good side … He’s really really interesting. But he isn’t above copyright law.""

Elon Musk quits AI ethics research group; BBC, February 22, 2018
BBC; Elon Musk quits AI ethics research group
"Technology billionaire Elon Musk has quit the board of the research group he co-founded to look into the ethics of artificial intelligence.
In a blog post, OpenAI said the decision had been taken to avoid any conflict of interest as Mr Musk's electric car company, Tesla, became "more focused on AI".
He has been one of AI's most vocal critics, stressing the potential harms."
