GL-00048Idea
Humans built the atomic bomb before building the rules to govern it. Every generation faces a version of this question. For your generation, the question is about artificial intelligence. The technology is ahead of the ethics. This has happened before. It will happen again.
- Ethical questions do not have clean answers. That is what makes them ethical questions instead of engineering problems.
- When someone builds something new, two questions matter: what can it do, and what should it do?
