Abstract

Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (Analytics and Automation) can harm purposely persons (via fake news of social networks, drones, robots, apps, platforms) without any available regulations and forms of protection. We need not only benefits to offer to everybody but responsible ways to develop all new intelligent systems, and agents without high risks and strange behaviours. In many cases, decisions are not intelligible to humans and easy explanations are not available anywhere. We want diverse technologies to aid people and deliver great advantages to society at large.

I am very grateful to Beatriz Ribeiro by many discussions along the last years on the exploration of ethics in AI, in particular about cars without human drivers, and the related dangers for human beings. Yet, the use of drones in war (Iran, Ukraine) is a recent example of the lack of ethics in taking advantages of AI technology, and on account of that we need to take more attention to our environment.
