In the long run, research produced by the new unit could benefit other Google groups as well. The search giants Waymo autonomous driving subsidiary is a prime candidate. The prospect of self-driving cars hitting the road en masse hasraised thorny questions, such as how a vehicle should handle the difficult choices that must be made when an accident is unavoidable.

How Google has been quietly developing a censored search engine for China

Criticized for a controversy over the improper use of health data, DeepMind Technologies Ltd., Google LLCs artificial intelligence research division, is expanding the scope of its work beyond the technical realm.

Many ethical blind spots still remain even as Google and other tech companies race ahead with their AI ambitions. Just a few months ago, DeepMind shared the results of a project that sought totrain neural networks to think more like a humanby having them learn the basics of walking under simulated conditions.

With that said, the move to establish the unit is much more than just academic in nature. Earlier this year, DeepMind came under fire for a project with the U.K.s National Health Service thatviolated regulationson processing patient records. An in-house ethics team could help steer the division away from misusing its AI technologies in the future.

On top of creating ethical guidelines for DeepMinds work, the unit will try to predict the ways AI could reshape society in the future. The effort is set to emphasize big questions such as how to ensure that AI systems will uphold user rights and what economic impact theyll have. DeepMind expects that the team will start publishing its first research papers sometime next year.
