Smart machines need ethics
 

Gartner said CIOs need to develop “ethical programming for smart machines”.

What does that mean? According to Frank Buytendijk, a research VP at Gartner: “People must trust smart machines if they are to accept and use them. The ability to earn trust must be part of any plan to implement artificial intelligence (AI) or smart machines, and will be an important selling point when marketing this technology.”

But not all programming needs to be ethical – vapourware is by its very nature not at all ethical, said Gartner.
