Would you trust AI to manage your finances? Can AI follow Buddhist teachings? And what does the history of robot fiction reveal about our current ethical challenges? At a time when AI systems increasingly shape our work and personal decisions, engaging with such questions is no longer optional. This book explores the evolving landscape of AI ethics through the insights of 30 practitioners and academics from around the world. It offers a multidisciplinary lens by incorporating real-world applications, philosophical viewpoints, and imaginative interpretations from science fiction and art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe editors have worked closely with organizations addressing both the opportunities and risks created by AI, quantum, and other emerging technologies.
