Beschreibung

This edited volume brings together philosophers and scholars in disparate fields who have engaged in Professor Deborah G. Johnson's body of work throughout her long career. It appeals to both students and researchers and introduces Johnson's thought to a broader audience. This text shows how with due to the resurgence of AI research, her work is more relevant than ever. The volume will help a new generation of scholars benefit from the conceptual insights that Johnson has provided. Her work on algorithmic accountability sets the tone in particular. Chapters illustrate how combining philosophy of technology across disciplines helps clarify the complex intricacies of AI and societies, in particular the topic of accountability. Other themes covered include moral agency and responsibility, transparency, gender and technology as well as ethics education.
