 m various sources raises many ethical questions. This talk will review rec
 ent developments and deployments of AI and the ethical issues they raise. 
 It will outline various approaches to constructing ethical guidelines and 
 the need for research into the foundations of AI ethics now and in the fut
 ure.\nAbout Prof Nigel Shadbolt\nProfessor Sir Nigel Shadbolt is one of th
