Ethics of AI is a subject we often hear about, however, I have a feeling that we're not taking the subject seriously or taking it in the right direction.
A Subject That Is Not on the Right Track
When the European Union says that there must be 7 main ethical principles around AI, the first of which is respect for human rights, we could laugh. Would that not be a basic principle, an overarching principle that anything in western democracies is supposed to respect? And when Google creates an ethics committee that includes a person with homophobic and xenophobic beliefs, even though these positions violate Google's charter, do we really believe that ethics is taken seriously?
