WRR researchers Erik Schrijvers and Haroon Sheikh spoke recently with members of the Ethics Committee of the National Academy of Technologies of France (NATF) about artificial intelligence. In 2019 that committee issued an advisory note on big data and ethics. The conversation addressed the debate about AI in France and the Netherlands, as well as questions around data ownership, regulation and market surveillance. The role of ethical reflection was also covered in depth.
