Why the Field of AI needs more Philosophers

We are all confronted with ethical questions every day and are often overwhelmed by them. The Philosophers are not much different. They are usually better at analyzing and occasionally solving them, but they cannot always provide fail-safe techniques. However, what philosophy can do very well is offer a disciplined way to think about ethical issues and identify hidden moral assumptions to establish principles by which our actions can be guided and ultimately judged for society’s good.

Graduates of Philosophy, Ethics, and human sciences in general will be in high demand in the future to investigate AI-related processes through a human lens.
