Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) raises big hopes and fears. This article reviews some ethical, political, and societal risks of AI, and claims that AI can be societally beneficial only if designed and governed responsibly. The article introduces some concepts from recent debates in philosophy of technology: responsibility gap, responsible innovation, value-sensitive design, meaningful human control. It also calls for a closer collaboration between scientific disciplines and humanities in the study of AI and technology more generally.
