Hosted by Ben Byford, The Machine Ethics Podcast brings together interviews with academics, authors, business leaders, designers and engineers on the subject of autonomous algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and technology’s impact on society.

Fostering morality with Dr Oliver Bridge

This episode Ben chats to Oliver Bridge about machine ethics, superintelligence, virtue ethics, AI alignment, fostering morality in humans and AI, evolutional moral systems, socialising AI, and systems thinking…

Oliver Bridge is an interdisciplinary researcher and educator specialising in morality studies. During his PhD he focused on the intersection of the philosophy and psychology of education and morality. Since then his research interests have evolved to include Machine Ethics, where he aims to apply lessons learnt from the sociological and psychological studies of morality in the context of AI. He is also interested in Systems Theory as a framework for understanding morality and moral development in psychological, social, and artificial systems.

About The Machine Ethics podcast

This podcast was created and is run by Ben Byford and collaborators. The podcast, and other content was first created to extend Ben’s growing interest in both the AI domain and in the associated ethics. Over the last few years the podcast has grown into a place of discussion and dissemination of important ideas, not only in AI but in tech ethics generally. As the interviews unfold on they often veer into current affairs, the future of work, environmental issues, and more. Though the core is still AI and AI Ethics, we release content that is broader and therefore hopefully more useful to the general public and practitioners.

The hope for the podcast is for it to promote debate concerning technology and society, and to foster the production of technology (and in particular, decision making algorithms) that promote human ideals.
