Over the coming decades, Artificial Intelligence will profoundly
impact the way we live, work, wage war, play, seek a mate, educate
our young, and care for our elderly. It is likely to greatly
increase our aggregate wealth, but it will also upend our labor
markets, reshuffle our social order, and strain our private and
public institutions. Eventually it may alter how we see our place
in the universe, as machines pursue goals independent of their
creators and outperform us in domains previously believed to be the
sole dominion of humans. Whether we regard them as conscious or
unwitting, revere them as a new form of life or dismiss them as
mere clever appliances, is beside the point. They are likely to
play an increasingly critical and intimate role in many aspects of
our lives. The emergence of systems capable of independent
reasoning and action raises serious questions about just whose
interests they are permitted to serve, and what limits our society
should place on their creation and use. Deep ethical questions that
have bedeviled philosophers for ages will suddenly arrive on the
steps of our courthouses. Can a machine be held accountable for its
actions? Should intelligent systems enjoy independent rights and
responsibilities, or are they simple property? Who should be held
responsible when a self-driving car kills a pedestrian? Can your
personal robot hold your place in line, or be compelled to testify
against you? If it turns out to be possible to upload your mind
into a machine, is that still you? The answers may surprise you.
