Artificial intelligence emerged as a way to help people perform their tasks on a day-to-day basis. However, as time goes by, this new tool, like people, has evolved. AI has started to change our lives completely as is the case of health, safety, leisure and it will increasingly have a greater impact on other sectors, such as education, transport, or even domestic activities. It is for this reason that we ask ourselves, How can we develop artificial intelligence with an ethical approach? To what extent is AI regulated? But the first question to ask is the following: What is the relationship between artificial intelligence and ethics?
Ana Maiques, CEO of Neuroelectrics, affirms that ethics is something very important to understand the development of artificial intelligence. In Neuroelectrics they have created a device capable of stimulating and treating the brain. “With this, we can change or modify the identity”says Ana. Fernando Herrero Acebes, General Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the Madrid City Council, affirms that he agrees with what Ana has said. “We want to create a new environment to develop technology in a different way, at least we are trying”, it states Ferdinand.
Rafael Figueroa, Co – founder and CEO of Portal Telemedicina, comments that thanks to the fact that there is an ethical method to regulate artificial intelligence, they have been able to help a multitude of doctors to make decisions when doing some work.
Irene Arias Hofman, CEO of IDB Lab, commented that ethics is something that is helping a lot to implement artificial intelligence in more sectors. At IDB Lab they help users in various ways. “We are creating new ways of understanding AI”, it states Irene.
