AI, new challenges and why developers should care about ethics

Everyone seems to be talking about ethics and the importance of applying ethics to AI and other emerging technologies.

But what do we mean when we talk about ethics?

For many, ethics is something abstract and subjective, impossible to implement.

For others, a buzzword that can be used to "sell stuff".

In this short presentation, Karin Rudolph will introduce some basic concepts to understand ethics in the context of technology, how to apply some principles to the lifecycle of a project and why developers should care about ethics.
