Artificial intelligence (AI) suggests that machines will one day have the potential to imitate human behavior to complete complex tasks without human assistance. Many ethical questions arise in relation to the development of new technologies featuring artificial intelligence. This one sheet considers overarching questions as well as challenges regarding privacy, bias, and predictive policing.
