Developing Ecological Safety of Artificial Intelligence in Human Society

Aleksejs Zorins, Peteris Grabusts

Abstract


The paper presents cyber systems especially based on artificial intelligence (AI) from a perspective of ecological safety for humanity. The study provides a definition of ecological safety of AI and discusses its relevance to a modern science and society, as well as reviews risks of smart AI systems.

Keywords:

Artificial intelligence; cybersecurity; risks of artificial intelligence; safe artificial intelligence
