Moderated by Sven Koenig (University of Southern California)
Panelists: Benjamin Kuipers (University of Michigan), Judy Goldsmith (University of Kentucky), and Illah R. Nourbakhsh (Carnegie Mellon University CREATE Lab)
Sponsored by the Future of Life Institute
The panel will discuss how, as educators, we can incorporate ethical issues into undergraduate or graduate AI classes, such as the following questions: Do we need to worry about the reliability, robustness, and safety of AI systems? Do we need to provide oversight of their operation? How do we guarantee that their behavior is consistent with social norms and human values? Who is liable for incorrect AI decisions? How will AI technology impact standard of living, distribution and quality of work, and other social and economic aspects?
