I haven't had time to read this volume (and honestly, it's going to take some time) but it is now available as an open access publication (460 page PDF) and I can already tell it will be required reading for those interested in the field and particularly relevant in the "current AI spring". The first part offers six essays on AI, ethics, and philosophy. The next part offers another six on AI, law and policy. And finally, eight essays look at AI across sectors. "While it may be tempting to treat AI as an entirely novel and different phenomenon stemming from human ingenuity, this attitude not only feeds an excessive hype but also risks overlooking the ingenuity that humans have shown throughout history... It is, furthermore, a convenient position for those actors who would prefer not to draw any lessons from past governance experiences" (their emphasis). Via Stephanie Moore.
