Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity by
Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity, by April G. Dawson, is Aspen's concise primer intended to increase student awareness of the protocols, possibilities, and ethical implications of using AI systems in their legal education studies, while also giving professors assurance that their students are informed of the same. AI is having a sudden and profound impact on the legal profession, as it has in virtually professions worldwide. Understanding how to leverage AI tools effectively and appropriately will give law school graduates a competitive edge among legal employers interested to hire tech-savvy young lawyers. But AI is also having a profound impact on the legal education experience. As more and more students seek assistance from ChatGPT and similar tools for their academic work, questions arise as to what they are gaining or sacrificing in the process; and whether, or at what point, using AI in academic work falls within the bounds of academic integrity. Such dramatic developments call for better knowledge and understanding of the ethical implications associated with using AI systems in law school. April G. Dawson explores the pros and cons of using powerful AI tools in law school while maintaining institutional standards for academic rigor and intellectual honesty in legal education--alongside students' own values and developing sense of legal ethics. Professors and students will benefit from: Assurance that AIAI raises student awareness of the importance of 1) using generative AI tools like ChatGPT responsibly; and 2) understanding how academic integrity facilitates learning and prepares students to become ethically responsible in the practice of law; 3) researching and reading their school's code of conduct, and 4) understanding the policies of individual professors with respect to the use of generative AI tools. Reflection: Professional Identity Formation (PIF), questions that prompt students to reflect on their own experiences with generative AI--both its useful applications for learning and practice, as well as the potential for using AI in ways that violate academic integrity and undermine principles of professional responsibility. Examples of individuals making choices and realizing the consequences of their decisions for a range of situations and ethical quandaries Case Studies feature summaries of recent landmark cases and discussion of law and policy. A concise overview of law-specific AI products, the tasks they perform, and the reasons for the legal profession's measured approach to adopting them Incisive discussion of the potential for generative AI's to significantly mitigate, though not fully address, the nation's access to justice crisis

Ethical Machines by
What will you do when your AI misbehaves? The promise of artificial intelligence is automated decision-making at scale, but that means AI also automates risk at scale. Are you prepared for that risk? Already, many companies have suffered real damage when their algorithms led to discriminatory, privacy-invading, and even deadly outcomes. Self-driving cars have hit pedestrians; HR algorithms have precluded women from job searches; mortgage systems have denied loans to qualified minorities. And often the companies who deployed the AI couldn't explain why the black box made the decision it did. In this environment, AI ethics isn't merely an academic curiosity, it's a business necessity. In Ethical Machines, Reid Blackman gives you all you need to understand AI ethics as a risk management challenge. He'll help you build, procure, and deploy AI in a way that's not only ethical but also safe in terms of your organization's reputation, regulatory compliance, and legal standing--and do it at scale. And don't worry--the book's purpose is to get work done, not to ponder deep and existential questions about ethics and technology. Blackman's clear and accessible writing helps make a complex and often misunderstood concept like ethics easy to grasp. Most importantly, Blackman makes ethics actionable by tackling the big three ethical risks with AI--bias, explainability, and privacy--and tells you what to do (and what not to do) to mitigate them. With practical approaches to everything from writing a strong statement of AI ethics principles to creating teams that effectively evaluate ethical risks, Ethical Machines is the one guide you need to ensure your AI advances your company's objectives instead of undermining them.

Algorithms for the People by
How to put democracy at the heart of AI governance Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Police forces use them to decide where to send police officers, judges to decide whom to release on bail, welfare agencies to decide which children are at risk of abuse, and Facebook and Google to rank content and distribute ads. In these spheres, and many others, powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made, narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and creativity. In Algorithms for the People, Josh Simons flips the narrative about how we govern these technologies. Instead of examining the impact of technology on democracy, he explores how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance. Drawing on his experience as a research fellow at Harvard University, a visiting research scientist on Facebook's Responsible AI team, and a policy advisor to the UK's Labour Party, Simons gets under the hood of predictive technologies, offering an accessible account of how they work, why they matter, and how to regulate the institutions that build and use them. He argues that prediction is political: human choices about how to design and use predictive tools shape their effects. Approaching predictive technologies through the lens of political theory casts new light on how democracies should govern political choices made outside the sphere of representative politics. Showing the connection between technology regulation and democratic reform, Simons argues that we must go beyond conventional theorizing of AI ethics to wrestle with fundamental moral and political questions about how the governance of technology can support the flourishing of democracy.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence by
The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence has two goals. The first goal is meta-theoretical and is fulfilled by Part One, which comprises the first three chapters: an interpretation of the past (Chapter 1), the present (Chapter 2), and the future of AI (Chapter 3). Part One develops the thesis that AI is an unprecedented divorce between agency and intelligence. On this basis, Part Two investigates the consequences of such a divorce, developing the thesis that AI as a new form of agency can be harnessed ethically and unethically. It begins (Chapter 4) by offering a unified perspective on the many principles that have been proposed to frame the ethics of AI. This leads to a discussion (Chapter 5) of the potential risks that may undermine the application of these principles, and then (Chapter 6) an analysis of the relation between ethical principles and legal norms, and a definition of soft ethics as post-compliance ethics. Part Two continues by analysing the ethical challenges caused by the development and use of AI (Chapter 7), evil uses of AI (Chapter 8), and good practices when applying AI (Chapter 9). The last group of chapters focuses on the design, development, and deployment of AI for Social Good or AI4SG (Chapter 10); the positive and negative impacts of AI on the environment and how it can be a force for good in the fight against climate change-but not without risks and costs, which can and must be avoided or minimised (Chapter 11); and the possibility of using AI in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Chapter 12). The book concludes (Chapter 13) by arguing in favour of a new marriage between the Green of all our habitats and the Blue of all our digital technologies and how this new marriage can support and develop a better society and a healthier biosphere.
