John McCone @ RT Sputnik.. on the Ethics of A.I.

An amazing (unfortunately small) interview of a good friend, Dr John McCone, on a subject that very few dare touch, while almost everyone are, from my personal point of view, already victims of in a daily basis, A.I., more accurately the ethics of A.I.

With the boom of the A.I. projects, passing by 5G, the gamification of everything and also monetization, Blockchains, Politics, Economy, Work, small details like the ethics of A.I. are easily forgotten while of major importance to all of us and our well-being, some very important questions, examples, possible future scenarios, were presented by Dr John McCone and to my surprised, well received and discussed by the hosts of the show at Sputnik Orbiting the World: Prisons in crisis and ethics of AI (ep.291), on the first half the interview about the prison system, the lack of resources and care towards both prisoners and staff was also very well presented and discussed, and shows a reality that most of us don't realize yet it is present and affect us all in one or other way..

But, without further ado except to personally thank John for bringing this topic to the masses through RT, lets get to the interview:

(Or if You want, check the video at source)
Temperatures have already reached the highest since records began. It’s set to be a long hot summer and nowhere more so than in Britain’s overcrowded, understaffed prisons. Deprived of the right to strike and, they say, underpaid and under strength, our prison officers will struggle to keep the lid on the boiling pot of Britain’s huge jail population. Mick Pimblett is on the frontline, he’s one of the leaders of the Prison Officers Association, and, so, we invited him to the studio to tell us about a system in crisis.

Florid flesh and blood might be back in Downing Street but the robots haven’t given up. We regularly talk about artificial intelligence, but most experts are more concerned with the technology rather than the sociology. Artificial intelligence threatens to throw millions out of work, which would be fine if the newly unemployed didn’t starve as a result. One man, who is campaigning prodigiously on these issues, is Dr John McCone, founder of Philosophy for the Future. He hopped aboard Sputnik to tell us more about the ethics of AI.
