This is the second episode in a short series about AI.

With the potential harms of AI receiving greater exposure over recent months, we take a look at how businesses are responding.

We explore the role and effectiveness of "ethical principles", introduced by many organisations to guide AI usage, and how existing corporate governance practices can be extended to the challenges of AI.
