Ethical Machines

<p><b>What will you do when your AI misbehaves?</b></p><p>The promise of artificial intelligence is automated decision-making at scale but that means AI also automates risk at scale. Are you prepared for that risk?</p><p>Already many companies have suffered real damage when their algorithms led to discriminatory privacy-invading and even deadly outcomes. Self-driving cars have hit pedestrians; HR algorithms have precluded women from job searches; mortgage systems have denied loans to qualified minorities. And often the companies who deployed the AI couldn't explain why the black box made the decision it did.</p><p>In this environment AI ethics isn't merely an academic curiosity it's a business necessity. In <i>Ethical Machines</i> Reid Blackman gives you all you need to understand AI ethics as a risk management challenge. He'll help you build procure and deploy AI in a way that's not only ethical but also safe in terms of your organization's reputation regulatory compliance and legal standing--and do it at scale.</p><p>And don't worry--the book's purpose is to get work done not to ponder deep and existential questions about ethics and technology. Blackman's clear and accessible writing helps make a complex and often misunderstood concept like ethics easy to grasp. Most importantly Blackman makes ethics actionable by tackling the big three ethical risks with AI--bias explainability and privacy--and tells you what to do (and what <i>not</i> to do) to mitigate them.</p><p>With practical approaches to everything from writing a strong statement of AI ethics principles to creating teams that effectively evaluate ethical risks <i>Ethical Machines</i> is the one guide you need to ensure your AI advances your company's objectives instead of undermining them.</p>
