Introduction

The voices expressing concern about the possible risks of artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly numerous and sophisticated. According to Stephen Hawking, the emergence of artificial intelligence “ may mean the end of the human race.” This idea is shared by others besides well-known theoretical physicists.

Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, once declared at the SXSW technology conference that “[AI] scares the crap out of me.” It has far more potential than nearly everyone is aware of, and its rate of development is exponential.

Unease is rampant in many areas, including the growing automation of certain jobs, racially and gender biassed algorithms, and autonomous weapons that operate without human supervision. Additionally, AI is still in its very early phases and we cannot be really sure of what it is capable of.
