Students in the Milstein Program in Technology & Humanity, who are researching the use of artificial intelligence on social media, have created a quiz to test your ability to distinguish AI-generated content from human-generated content. Cornell’s Moral Psychology research group in our Sage School of Philosophy leads the world in the study of ethical human behavior, and is applying the framework of moral decision-making to the complex issues related to the ethical use of technology in the 4IR. Researchers in Cornell’s Tech Policy Lab warn of the expanding gap between technology and policy, and draw upon the broadest range of disciplines to learn how AI can empower as well as pose challenges to governments. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is characterized by the fusion of the digital, biological and physical worlds. Artificial intelligence (AI) is central to this new era, and its influence on our lives is growing quickly. Given the enormity and the breathtaking pace of technological change, not to mention the tremendous promise and the potential peril, it is critical to examine the roles of policy, politics and ethics in shaping emerging technology – and vice versa.
