After reading "Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark", I became interested in the ethical questions surrounding Artificial Intelligence. I wrote about some of the challenging ethical questions in the book and then went on to research other areas where AI ethics are proving to be challenging but very interesting.
This research project was inspired by the topics I covered in "Algorithms To Live By" by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths. I found optimisation and overfitting to be two very important and interesting problems that have strong real world applications, therefore I decided to cover them in detail in this project.
