Dave, Thought your list might be interested in my Scientific American column on a recent conference, "Ethics of AI." 
John Horgan

"How Would an AI Cover an AI Conference?"


"... I spent last weekend at New York University listening to philosophers, scientists and engineers jaw about 
“Ethics of Artificial Intelligence.” How can we ensure that driverless cars, drones and other smart technologies—such 
as algorithms that decide whether a human gets parole or a loan or has breast  cancer--are used ethically? Also, what 
happens if machines get really smart? Can we design them to be nice to us? Do we have to be nice to them? Speakers 
responded to these questions in a welter of ways, as did members of the audience. How should I write it up? Too many 
choices!..."
