Machine intelligence is here, and we're already using it to make subjective decisions. But the complex way AI grows and improves makes it hard to understand and even harder to control. In this cautionary talk, techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci explains how intelligent machines can fail in ways that don't fit human error patterns -- and in ways we won't expect or be prepared for. "We cannot outsource our responsibilities to machines," she says. "We must hold on ever tighter to human values and human ethics."

Zeynep Tufekci: Machine intelligence makes human morals more important

Machine intelligence makes human morals more important

Machine learning's power in hiring risks amplifying biases, proving ethics in AI is indispensable for fair decision-making.

AI can reflect and amplify societal biases, seen in online ads and criminal risk assessments, challenging the notion of neutrality.

As AI shapes crucial aspects of life, from news feeds to justice, maintaining human ethics in machine intelligence becomes vital.
