That seems to be the point, to take it on a meta level such that there is no effective action. Yet I see a pretty simple and straightforward way to make AI ethical: AI must *never* be fed private, personal or otherwise non-anonymized data of human beings, not even under the auspices of "consent". Only then can AI do the useful things like predicting the spread of diseases without turning human society into a chess game for the owners of the AI. Those who are allowed to grab the data become the masters of the planet. Even if you kid yourself that you own your own data. This principle of uncollectibility of personal data needs to be cast into regulation, refined and defined in a sane way as it is of higher importance than democratic constitutions. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable from any major commercial search engine.
