Based on spectacular breakthroughs, a lot of hype surrounds AI. And AI is already used in a wide range of knowledge domains and human practices. The first has given rise to wild speculations about the technological future and interesting philosophical discussions about what it means to be human. The second has created a sense of urgency on the part of ethicists and policymakers to ensure that this technology benefits us instead of creating insurmountable challenges for individuals and societies. These latter concerns are more practical and immediate.
This book, written by an academic philosopher who also has experience with advice for policymaking, deals with both aspects: it treats ethics as related to all these questions. It aims to give the reader a good overview of the ethical problems with AI understood broadly, ranging from influential narratives about the future of AI and philosophical questions about the nature and future of the human, to ethical concerns about responsibility and bias and how to deal with real-world practical issues raised by the technology by means of policy—preferably before it is too late.

What happens when it is “too late”? Some scenarios are dystopian and utopian at the same time. Let me start with some dreams and nightmares about the technological future, influential narratives that, at least at first sight, seem relevant to evaluating the potential benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence.
