Title: Tensions and Trade-Offs in Law, Organization, and the Design of “Ethically-Aligned” Artificial Intelligence

Description: For well over a century, many societies have relied on complex organizations — from regulatory agencies to private companies to modern police forces — to comply with legal commitments and manage difficult trade-offs involving risk and human values.  Today those organizations and the people within them are increasingly contemplating the use of computer systems deploying “artificial intelligence” to support or undertake decision-making in domains such as finance, health care, criminal justice, and national security. This talk explores some of the interrelated dilemmas and opportunities that arise in modern society as we consider both the role of organizations and our relationship to artificial intelligence — dilemmas made all the more concrete given recent efforts to build ethical artificial intelligence systems. I preview some emerging legal and policy challenges related to how artificial intelligence will affect humans and organizations, and reflect on both the consistency and change in some of the fundamental questions about law, ethics, and collective action that have confronted societies for generations.
