Is this not just ethics washing? This is not the first technology to touch people’s lives

SLIDE 13
Principles of medical ethics

New procedures should do good Bring net benefits (utilitarian)
SLIDE 19
Beneficence
New procedures should do good Bring net benefits (utilitarian) We saw this, for example, in Google’s AI principles
SLIDE 20
Non-maleficence
Does no harm to anyone Not the same as beneficence (more egalitarian)
SLIDE 21
Non-maleficence
Does no harm to anyone Not the same as beneficence (more egalitarian) Privacy trade-offs
SLIDE 22 Precautionary principle
When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically Enshrined in international law (e.g. EU law, Kyoto protocol)
SLIDE 23 Precautionary principle
When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically Applies very well to uncertain impacts of AI (especially on our mental health)
