Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting, but this recently published Special Issue of the Royal Society Transactions A on "Governing Artificial Intelligence" edited by Sandra Wachter, Brent Mittelstadt, Luciano Floridi and myself might be of interest. http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/376/2133 "This issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities posed in developing accountable, fair and transparent governance for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. How can this be achieved and through which frameworks? *AI increasingly permeates every aspect of our society, from the critical, like, law enforcement, healthcare, and humanitarian aid, to the everyday like dating. Simultaneously, AI may be misused or behave in unpredicted and potentially harmful ways. Questions on the role of the law, ethics, and technology in governing AI systems are thus more relevant than ever before."* It includes articles by: Joshua A. Kroll, Michael Veale, Reuben Binns, Lilian Edwards, Luciano Floridi, Vidushi Marda, Paul Nemitz, Alan F. T. Winfield, Marina Jirotka, Ugo Pagallo, Jaron Harambam, Natali Helberger, Joris van Hoboken and others.
