ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book not only draws on my own work on this topic but reflects the knowledge and experience of the entire field of AI ethics. It would be impossible to list all the people I have discussed with and learned from over the past years, but the relevant and fast-growing communities I know include AI researchers such as Joanna Bryson and Luc Steels, fellow philosophers of technology such as Shannon Vallor and Luciano Floridi, academics working on responsible innovation in the Netherlands and the UK such as Bernd Stahl at De Montfort University, people I met in Vienna such as Robert Trappl, Sarah Spiekermann, and Wolfgang (Bill) Price, and my fellow members of the policy-oriented advisory bodies High-Level Expert Group on AI (European Commission) and Austrian Council on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, for example Raja Chatila, Virginia Dig-num, Jeroen van den Hoven, Sabine Koszegi, and Matthias Scheutz—to name just a few. I would also like to warmly thank Zachary Storms for helping with proofreading and formatting, and Lena Starkl and Isabel Walter for support with literature search.
