The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has already begun, with self-driving cars, autonomous weapons, and robot surgeons becoming commonplace. While some see this as a new era of innovation and convenience, others are concerned about its potential for destruction. One thing is certain: this technology raises profound questions about the definitions of human intelligence and morality.

In Moral AI, a comprehensive guide to the ethical implications of AI, world-renowned researchers in moral psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence explore these complex issues. Written in a clear and concise manner, the book provides a balanced perspective on the recent advances in this field, debunking exaggerated claims and misleading arguments. Instead, it offers in-depth examinations of the moral concerns at the heart of AI programs, including racial equity, personal privacy, fake news, and autonomous weaponry.

The authors argue that AI can be built and used safely and ethically, but its potential cannot be fully realized without careful reflection on the values we wish to imbue it with. This book is an essential primer for anyone interested in understanding the ethical implications of AI and its potential to shape our future.
