An interview of Dr. Shannon French, Director of the Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, where she is also a professor of both Philosophy and Law. She previously taught at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, and her publications include a great book entitled The Code of the Warrior: Exploring Warrior Values Past and Present.  Dr. French has also done quite a bit of research and writing on ethical issues in AI, especially but not exclusively in military contexts.

Dr. French also recommends the following books that she didn't have time to mention during this episode:
- Cathy O'Neil, Weapons of Math Destruction
- Safiya Noble, Algorithms of Oppression
- Ruja Benjamin, Race Against Technology
- Shannon Vallor, Technology and the Virtues
- Patrick Lin, Robot Ethics 2.0
- and the work of Elsa Kania, Elke Schwartz, and Bruce Schneier.

Near the end of the podcast, Dr. French's dogs Bert and Maple offer a bit of canine commentary....
