Today, the Lisbon Council launches The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: How AI Can End Discrimination and Make the World a Smarter, Better Place, a ground-breaking policy brief that explores the nature of artificial intelligence and proposes a seven-point programme for a successful European policy response. Informed by 18 months of high-level roundtables and expert presentations, author Paul Hofheinz, president and co-founder of the Lisbon Council, takes a closer look into how artificial intelligence – if used properly and well – can hold out the possibility of faster, more efficient and ultimately more ethical decision making than we have now.
