The Guardian view on the ethics of AI: it’s about Dr Frankenstein, not his monster ; The Guardian, June 12, 2018

Editorial, The Guardian; The Guardian view on the ethics of AI: it’s about Dr Frankenstein, not his monster

"But in all these cases, the companies involved – which means the people who work for them – will be actively involved in maintaining, tweaking and improving the work. This opens an opportunity for consistent ethical pressure and for the attribution of responsibility to human beings and not to inanimate objects. Questions about the ethics of artificial intelligence are questions about the ethics of the people who make it and the purposes they put it to. It is not the monster, but the good Dr Frankenstein we need to worry about most."
