For doing so, it analyzes the present and future states of AI ethics education in local computer science and engineering programs. The authors share relevant best practices and use cases for teaching, develop answers to ongoing organizational challenges, and reflect on the practical implications of different theoretical approaches to AI ethics. The book is of great interest to faculty members, researchers, and students in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer science, mathematics, computer engineering, and related areas, as well as higher education administration.

"This book provides an analysis of major ethical and bioethical issues like euthanasia, suicide, organ commerce and donation, sexual objectification, and abortion from the perspective of Kant's moral theory. It deals with questions such as: Is the person who decides to commit suicide autonomous? Is euthanasia compatible with respect for humanity and dignity? Can a person's choice to sell one of her kidneys be free? Does the prostitute reduce herself to a mere sexual object through satisfying her clients' desires? Can the fetus' potential for rational agency constitute an argument against abortion? Without doubt, Kant's is one of the most important moral theories. The task of applying it to issues that concern us today leaves us with a sense of satisfaction that it has a lot to offer to contemporary philosophical thought."-- Back cover
