This book is more than an exploration of the moral landscape in the age of AI; it is a roadmap for ethical engagement and responsible stewardship. It is a call to action for individuals, policymakers, technologists and thinkers alike to navigate this brave new world with vigilance, wisdom, and a steadfast commitment to the preservation of human values and rights.
In the book, we encounter the complex intersections between AI and ethics, where creativity, bias, privacy and authenticity are intertwined. We are challenged to consider how AI influences our perception of reality, how it shapes our cultural and artistic landscapes, and how it can either perpetuate or mitigate societal biases.
By taking a philosophical approach to the AI world, the book is of use to anyone who is curious about the moral issues surrounding advancements in AI, not only those who have a background in AI.
