Emerging technologies (ET) are novel and relatively fast-growing technologies that can have massive socio-economic impact and bring new ethical and regulatory challenges. Although they cannot be considered as new technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and related data driven technologies are examples of ET. AI is advancing at a rapid pace, in both public and private sectors, and being more widely deployed in different domains, including healthcare and education. In today's digital age, our societies are facing rapid and massive technological transformations. It is important to ensure that the behavior of AI systems is beneficial to humanity. Policymakers and the research community need to identify the greatest barriers to AI adoption and related risks. In recent years, Google's plans and visions to use ET gained serious and intense criticism. This situation pushed Google in March 2019 to announce an AI ethics panel which is supposed to offer guidance on ethical issues relating to AI, machine learning, and related technologies. This AI ethics panel was shut down just days after it was launched. The episode illustrates how ethical debates relating to ET are often characterized by ambiguity, dishonesty, and demagoguery. In this paper, I discuss the ethics of ET, focusing on Google and its AI platform.
