Why I'm Launching ARTIFICIAL ETHICS
My journey into the world of AI has been a constant process of learning and questioning. I've been fascinated by its potential, but also troubled by the lack of deep ethical reflection. I invite you to join me on this journey of exploration through ARTIFICIAL ETHICS, a SubStack dedicated to uncovering AI’s increasingly complex moral landscape.
My background as a lawyer trained at Stanford Law, combined with a deep interest in tech, philosophy, political science, and theology, has given me a unique perspective on the societal implications of emerging technologies. My experience as Editorial Director for FII, the world's largest investment conference, further exposed me to the transformative potential of AI across industries – and the urgent need for ethical frameworks to guide its development and deployment.
I've spent countless hours poring over academic articles, legal journals, and tech industry reports, and one thing has become abundantly clear: while many talk about AI ethics, there's a surprising lack of deep, rigorous analysis. There's no shortage of high-level principles and aspirational declarations, but the practical application of these principles remains a significant challenge. We're facing a critical gap between the rapid advancement of AI technology and our understanding of its ethical implications. This gap is what ARTIFICIAL ETHICS aims to bridge.
This hopefully will not be just an academic exercise. The ethical choices we make today about AI will shape the future of our society. Will AI exacerbate existing inequalities, or can we harness its power to create a more just and equitable world? Will AI enhance human autonomy, or will it erode our ability to make meaningful decisions? These are not abstract questions; they are urgent challenges that demand our attention.
ARTIFICIAL ETHICS intends to be a space for rigorous, insightful analysis of the most pressing ethical issues related to AI. I'll draw on my legal expertise, academic research, and real-world experience to provide a nuanced perspective on the complex interplay of law, technology, and ethics. I'll explore topics ranging from algorithmic bias and data privacy to the future of work and the existential risks of advanced AI.
My goal is to make ARTIFICIAL ETHICS the most comprehensive and insightful resource for anyone seeking to understand and navigate the ethical challenges of our increasingly automated world. I'll be sharing original analysis, summaries of key research, and commentary on current events related to AI ethics. I also hope to foster a community of engaged readers who can contribute their own perspectives and insights.
This is a journey of exploration, and I invite you to join me. Thank you for taking the time and see you in future posts.
