The concern of machine ethics and laws spills into the everyday workings of society, not just the domain of defense. Many concepts revolve around the law of armed conflict, societal law, ethical dilemmas, psychological concepts and artificially intelligent cyber systems, as well as their relationships among each other. In addition to the delineation of machine ethic guidelines, an ethical life cycle is necessary to account for changes over time in national circumstances and personal beliefs. Just recently, the Defense Innovation Board, which serves as an advisory board to the Pentagon, met and published ethical guidelines in designing and implementing artificially intelligent weapons. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the Defense Department must satisfy the conditions of responsibility, equitability, traceability, reliability and governability. The Defense Innovation Board approved five ethical principles.

Though the popular television series Ozark romanticizes the underlying criminal conduct, money laundering and the manipulation of beneficial ownership are genuine issues confronting lawyers. This was, of course, highlighted in the joint 60 Minutes-Global Witness exposé entitled Lowering the Bar, which aired in 2016. Viewed by 9.3 million people, 60 Minutes effectively demonstrated how New York lawyers implicate themselves, wittingly and unwittingly, in money laundering. This exposé, and the ensuing Grievance Committee investigation that I co-prosecuted while with the First Department, resulted in two public censures. In re Koplik, 168 A.D.3d 163 (1st Dept. 2019); In re Jankoff, 165 A.D.3d 58 (1st Dept. 2018). The real value in the Committee’s investigation flowed, not from the sanctioning of

There was a time in which news of a scandal in the Vatican shocked the world. However, as story after story is unveiled, and the global number of Catholics diminishes, the mere mention of priests, the Vatican, and even the pope himself conjures up images of corruption, decadence, and depravity. It epitomises the rotting nature of the religious institutions that have been a pillar of class society for so long.

Let there be no doubt, being a founder is no joke. Even in the best of economic and geopolitical climates, running a business is rife with challenges and the learning curve is often steep. Entrepreneurs sign up for this and most wouldn’t have it any other way.

But in 2020, when enterprises around the world have unprecedented, nearly unfiltered access to consumers’ personal data, businesses are facing a new kind of question: What responsibility — legal and, just as importantly, ethical — do they have to protect the data they collect and use?

The novel coronavirus outbreak is on a collision course with corruption. Across Africa, Latin America, and South Asia, healthcare systems are already weakened by chronic graft, making them ill-equipped to respond to this type of crisis. As the virus spreads, citizens who cannot afford to pay bribes may be denied access to testing and treatment, accelerating the pace and scope of the contagion. Those subject to quarantines may bribe their way out, as documented in the Ebola crisis, and as already reported this week among border-crossers from Iran into Pakistan.
