An essay by Luciano Floridi, professor of philosophy and ethics of information at the University of Oxford in the UK, talks about Artificial Intelligence (AI). In an email interview, Prof. Floridi talks about how real, or not, the threat of AI is. Edited excerpts:Is AI a threat to human jobs? Automation will create new needs and new jobs, and make uneconomical jobs economical. Sharing personal information may be a good or terrible idea, giving it to smart technologies may actually facilitate and improve our lives, or make us subject to manipulation and even discrimination.
