techxplore.com; 'Sense of urgency', as top tech players seek AI ethical rules
"Some two dozen high-ranking representatives of the global and Swiss 
economies, as well as scientists and academics, met in Geneva for the 
first Swiss Global Digital Summit aimed at seeking agreement on ethical 
guidelines to steer technological development...
Microsoft president Brad Smith insisted on the importance that 
"technology be guided by values, and that those values be translated 
into principles and that those principles be pursued by concrete steps."
"We are the first generation of people who have the power to build 
machines with the capability to make decisions that have in the past 
only been made by people," he told reporters.
He stressed the need for "transparency" and "accountability ... to 
ensure that the people who create technology, including at companies 
like the one I work for remain accountable to the public at large."
"We need to start taking steps (towards ethical standards) with a sense of urgency," he said."
