Google has established an Advanced Technology External Advisory Council
(Atec) to consider ethical issues around artificial intelligence, facial
recognition and other emerging technologies. The group, which has seven
members, will hold four meetings in 2019 and publish a report based on the
discussions at the end of the year.
Members include foreign policy expert and diplomat William Joseph Burns,
philosopher Luciano Floridi, industrial engineering expert Dyan Gibbens,
natural language processing researcher De Kai, computational mathematics
specialist Bubacarr Bah, behavioral economist Alessandro Acquisti, AI
psychology expert Joanna Bryson, and public policy expert Kay Coles
James.
“We recognize that responsible development of AI is a broad area with
many stakeholders. In addition to consulting with the experts on ATEAC,
we’ll continue to exchange ideas and gather feedback from partners and
organizations around the world”, said Google on its blog.
