AI & Society: Does AI Need More Philosophers?

• Can we collaborate with AI?
• Can AI be human?
• Why do we need more philosophers?

These are a few of the ethical and philosophical questions I discuss in this podcast with Joanna Bryson, Professor of Ethics and Technology at the Hertie School in Berlin.

Professor Joanna Bryson advises governments, corporations, and other agencies globally, particularly on AI policy. She co-authored the first national-level AI ethics policy, the UK's 2011 Principles of Robotics, and has contributed to efforts by numerous organizations, including the OECD, EU, UN, OSCE, Red Cross, and Google, among others. In June 2020, she was one of nine experts nominated by Germany to the founding cohort of experts for the Global Partnership on AI.
