New Handbook Highlights Ways to Develop Tech Ethically

Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership ethics and co-author, "Ethics in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: An Operational Roadmap," quoted by Voice of America.

A new handbook, titled "Ethics in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: An Operational Roadmap," promises to give guidance on such issues as the ethical use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT.

"We've tried to write in the language of business and engineers so that it's familiar to them," Skeet said. "When they pick it up and they go through the five stages, and they see all the checklists and the resources, they actually recognize some of them. … We've done our best to make it as usable and practical as possible and as comprehensive as possible."

"What's important about this book is it puts materials right in the hands of executives inside the companies so that they can move a little bit past this moment of 'analysis paralysis' that we're in while people are waiting to see what the regulatory environment is going to be like and how that unfolds."
