An interview with Dr Edmond Awad and Prof Walter Sinnott-Armstrong on Moral AI And How We Get There

Can computers understand morality? Can they respect privacy? What can we do to make AI safe and fair? The artificial intelligence revolution has begun. Today, there are self-driving cars on our streets, autonomous weapons in our armies, robot surgeons in our hospitals - and AI's presence in our lives will only increase. Some see this as the dawn of a new era in innovation and ease; others are alarmed by its destructive potential. But one thing is clear: this is a technology like no other, one that raises profound questions about the very definitions of human intelligence and morality.
In this detailed interview Prof Walter Sinnott-Armstrong discusses the book, 'Moral AI and How We Get There', which he co-authored along with Jana Schaich Borg and Vincent Conitzer, with Dr Edmond Awad.
The interview was filmed on location at the Atlantic Institute XR Lab at Rhodes House. We would like to thank all the staff for their assistance in making this possible, and allowing us to work with the GoBe robot.
