Companies seeking profit, sometimes joined by states in quest of
security and power, drive forward the technology of artificial intelligence.
Autonomous vehicles, image recognition, advisory algorithms, financial
technology, and autonomous weapons systems are all evidence of this drive.

involved in developing artificial intelligence and public institutions have
echoed the call. Consequently, a number of initiatives have been launched,
aiming to explore the ethical and societal implications of artificial
intelligence. Researchers and groups of citizens are poring over a diverse set
of issues, e.g., the ethical considerations to be taken into account by arms
procurement agencies, the implications of artificial intelligence personhood,
etc.

in that case. For example, a husband could not notarize his wife’s signature
on a deed if they are purchasing the property together. Both husband and
wife receive the same benefit from the purchase, which creates a conflict of
interest should the husband attempt a notarization for his wife.
