A few days ago, politico.eu published a preview of the document that the European Union will issue as guidance for ethical issues related to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The document was written by the High-level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence, appointed by the European Commission.
This advanced version of the document is available online now for a sneak peek preview.
The official version will be released shortly.
