Books by Aaron Roth
“By now, a lot of people are familiar with concerns about bias in algorithms. Kearns and Roth are looking at how the exact details of the design of the algorithms might be understood to incorporate, for example, aspects of privacy, or aspects of fairness, and how there are tradeoffs between those. We can’t have it all, in a sense…Kearns and Roth are coming from the engineering perspective. They both work in computing and algorithmic design. They’re really good at communicating fairly complex stuff about algorithms—with lots of diagrams and examples, stories and graphs—to people who might be slightly frightened of that stuff. They’re really good at explaining it. They’ve also done some really good lectures that you can find on YouTube, which you can watch before plunging into the book.” Read more...

Ethics for Artificial Intelligence Books, recommended by Paula Boddington
Advances in artificial intelligence pose a myriad of ethical questions, but the most incisive thinking on this subject says more about humans than it does about machines, says Paula Boddington, philosopher and author of a recent AI ethics textbook. We first spoke to Paula in 2017—a long time ago in a fast-moving field. This week we caught up with her to find out what’s happened since then and which new books have taken the conversation over ethics and AI further.
