There is a fundamental flaw in the research agenda of AI. As Alan Blackwell argues in "Moral Codes," what humanity needs is better ways to tell computers what we want them to do, with new and better programming languages: More Open Representations, Access to Learning, and Control Over Digital Expression, in other words, MORAL CODE. Covering recent research and the latest smart tools, Blackwell offers rich design principles for a better kind of software—and a better kind of world. "Moral Codes" is available now in paperback and an #openaccess edition: https://bit.ly/3XgxNJm
