At the current stage of development, ethical AI is on the same level as ethics in the fuel industry, or the food industry, or the finance industry - there are ethical questions there but they concern human ethics in the way the technology is implemented and used.

What we don't have, or need (yet) is "ethics built into AI algorithms" or "ethics derived from AI" - we just not don't have an AI system that's advanced enough to require it. Self-driving cars might be the first to raise these kinds of questions, but I would still be reluctant to call that "ethics".

Ethics really doesn’t enter into corporate planning, by design. The system ensures it - day you’re CEO, if you’re not making a quarterly profit, the shareholders get rid of you.

I think it should, but in its current state, it doesn’t really.

And I'd think we're unlikely to want to hand off control of ethics to the machine for a good long while.
