Ethics & AI

As the technologies spawned by big data and artificial intelligence enter every area of human existence, the ethical issues surrounding them becomes ever more critical.  Combining his background in engineering and moral philosophy, Mois lectures and writes on the ethical dimensions of these emerging technologies.  His course on “Ethics in Big Data and AI” (see syllabus: English and Hebrew), includes: discussions in the classical approaches to ethics as well as ethics of technology; big issues in big data; dilemmas in autonomous systems and robotics; and ends with a look into the future to discuss the ethical issues surrounding “the singularity” that will entail the end of work, and the end of life in its normative sense.
