In this episode of the "Stories of Impact" podcast, we speak with an ethicist, a computer scientist, and a neuroscientist who have teamed together at Duke University to research how we might build human morality into an artificially intelligent machine.
Drs. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Jana Schaich Borg, and Vincent Conitzer's findings have shown that imbuing machines with the ability to act in accordance with moral principles can actually help us deepen our understanding of our own moral philosophy and behavior.
