The Legal Theory Bookworm recommends The Palgrave Handbook on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, edited by Steven S. Gouveia. Here is a description:
This Handbook explores the ethical dimensions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across philosophical, legal, and applied perspectives. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the handbook examines key issues in this field, including algorithmic bias, privacy, responsibility, and AI’s impact on human rights and democracy. It also explores sector-specific challenges in healthcare, law, finance, art and many more, offering a multidisciplinary approach to AI Ethics. With a balance of theoretical insights and practical studies and with a diversity of authorship, this handbook serves as an essential resource for academics, policymakers, and technology professionals navigating the ethical challenges of AI in the 21st century.
