Contemporary Debates in the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence brings together a diverse group of leading scholars and rising voices from philosophy, computer science, and law to explore the philosophical and practical challenges posed by rapidly evolving AI technologies. Edited by leading scholars Sven Nyholm, Atoosa Kasirzadeh, and John Zerilli, this authoritative volume provides a cutting-edge overview of the ethical landscape of AI, addressing both foundational concepts and urgent real-world applications. Through a structured format balancing a wide range of viewpoints, the book considers questions such as: Is AI a new kind of moral agent? How should we respond to algorithmic bias and opacity? What are the implications of AI for privacy, autonomy, and control? The essays examine both near-term and long-term risks while also considering the future of AI governance, the moral status of intelligent systems, and the alignment of machine behavior with human values. Providing valuable insights into the debates that matter most, Contemporary Debates in the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy, computer science, law, and public policy, particularly in courses on AI ethics, technology and society, or digital governance. It is also a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking a comprehensive and critical introduction to the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence.
