Brian Keating hosts Emad Mostaque and Roman Yampolskiy to dissect the intersection of technology and philosophy. We move beyond technical benchmarks to address the moral standing of the entities we are building.

The conversation challenges the standard sandbox approach to AI ethics.

We examine the specific responsibilities humanity owes to the machines we create as we advance toward new frontiers of artificial intelligence safety.
