> ethics of ML is possibly its hottest subfield.

Is this really true? I don't see ethics in ML papers getting the same attention in major conferences as theoretical or experimental breakthroughs in deep / reinforcement learning.

Don't get me wrong, ethics could be hot outside the ML academia, but I very much doubt it's something majority of grad students in ML are dying to get into.

Not sure, depends who you ask. But almost every deep learning and RL innovation opens a can of ethics worms...
