Defining a Sandbox for Responsible AI

Technology evolution present a unique set of challenges around the governance and ethics of the technology. These questions have dodged human civilization since the invention of the wheel. With every iteration of our journey we have to reevaluate our role in the larger planet. The human is a social animal. Technology is designed to augment our human lives and on occasion despite our best efforts can find its place in the wrong hands. This is no more real today with the advent of Artificial intelligence where we have given machines a cognition enabling them to function in more human centric roles. While this is not the first time that we have faced this future, it is important to take cognizance of the broader issues around the ethics and governance that are prevalent today in what are early days in an industry with a smaller number of large technology players. Like all our predecessor technologies through to today yet again we are dealing with a mortal creation that comes with an off switch and lesser divine origins. The human mind continues to question the singularity and what is to be the theory of everything. In this paper we explore some of the macro nuances centered around human actors.
