I am sure Sir, you have great visual designers. Kindly go to facebook and create posters for each such debate with main points on them.  You might like to visit Logical Indian FB page for reference. You people need to get to the front. Your channel is so soothing and refreshing with loads of knowledge. Your programs like sarokaar, media manthan and one you host are outstanding. I occasionally put these debates on my FB page but since you are not much visible on FB, your sane voice is not much heard. Kindly step up.

@marusiraz .. "so in the ethical hacking u knooww their is a category called white hacker and a black hacker"... is TRUE! He clearly states at the end of it that "white hacker are the ethical hackers and black hat hackers are the hackers that do the hacking for the harming purpose"! I know that the text books mention them to be black hats and white hats... but come on man.. just learn what you can learn from this and shut up.. he knows what he is talking about..

Creating a secular ethics is an extremely laudable goal. I fear however it fails if it requires, as was stipulated repeatedly here, that one accept the immortality of the self. Not having such a faith does not equate to nihilism. I have to wonder if this is not an attachment in Buddhism? I may not exist at a given point in time, but the universe does exist in all points of time. The fact that I have suffered in this universe need not dissuade me from loving it for the happiness and beauty it also contains and has gifted me with. I act to create a better world not for reasons of enlightened 'immortal' self interest but simply because I have sufficient love for the universe and that which exists within it. It is the immortality of the universe that I love, that is my motive, not the faith in my own. I am personally enriched now, in this life, by virtue of this love at the same time as I am able to enrich that which I love. Whether I am enlightened or attain enlightenment is relevant only as a guidepost, we need not be attached to enlightenment either. The assertion here that science cannot prove that nothingness exists, and that that 'proves' that nothingness does 'not' exist, is fallacious. That said, I am not convinced that one need have a 'faith' in one's personal immortality in order to 'be enlightened', one need not be so attached to one's self. Indeed, realizing that one may in fact have only one life is if anything to me, more impetus to get it right, right now. There may well not be time later.

Some great thoughts here. I suspect the conscience is gone after death because I don't see proof of rebirth. However, I'm determined to do be polite/giving to those I love such that it doesn't even matter which outcome is ultimately true - and that I believe is the real enlightenment. I'm not doing it for karma points...as pointed out during the talk it feels good to make those you care about happy - so it's a no-brainer regardless of your beliefs!

As in many issues, there isn't just one side to the future of robots taking over all sorts of industries. As to speak for negatives, first comes mass unemployment. People with nothing to do and no means to support themselves and their families are likely to... You know... Get freaking angry! I doubt that multibillionares will run around sharing their profits with anybody, so we will either have to engage in wars or just kill off much of Earths' population through some other means. Second, imagine the amount of power, required fow all those robots to operate. Now imagine the ecological and economical impact of producing that much electricity. Feel sick yet? Well, I'm not done, because then comes the scariest thing of all. Robots have no feelings. Captain Obvious has nothing to do with this one - we really don't appreciate and value the influence of emotions and feelings on our history, intellect and daily lives. Think about it. Just think. As to positives... Precise surgery, piloting, driving, assembling stuff, productivity up and labor costs down. Clean streets, homes, robits doing your dishes and laundry... If you can afford any of that WITHOUT A JOB. Yeah, good luck. I hope, I won't see that mess in my lifetime. There's no ethics to it. Robots are awesome, useful and the shit, but what value will humans hold without having anything to do at all? As for progress... Come on, we obsess over iphones, instead of conquering space. We aren't progressing, we're getting dimmer by the day.

yes, you need to get your shit together if you can't do anything better than a meaningless job. but then again, you give meaning to your own life, and jobs are only one way of pursuing that. my worry is, thanks to AI, we'll end up being hedonistic parasites. I find that degrading

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XdUIqdMkCWA/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/4252rscbv5M/photo.jpg?sz=64
+sinnochi tan agriculture did NOT give people spare time to do inventions and the such. as hunter gatherers we worked about 4-6 hours per day. as farmers we started to work 9 hours per day on average. but the surplus allowed us to increase our population much faster in much denser areas, which brought about more people to share ideas with, which ended up as the intellectual and cultural progress you mention. and then industry replaced agriculture, but working time did not lessen. now in developed countries industry has been replaced with services, but still on average we work about 7-9 hours per day. but the real question is, if robots do everything better and cheaper than we do, including creative art (such AI currently exists), what is our worth in the grand scheme of things? all that time and resources (money) in your hands, and no point in doing anything but lay around like a sack of hollow existence...

+Ayla Cheshir well actually as for electricity human workers require power generation indirectly too and burn fuel during transport etc etc all i am saying is its not a given the energy requirement will drastically shoot up. besides by the time these robots are ubiquitous we would probably be close to if not already have moved off nonrenewables.i dont know how automation is going to go down,how many jobs will be lost or how many added but its a transition that needs to be happen. we will all be better off at the end.as for having a lot of time on our hands. i would say its a definite positive. you would do what you want and nothing else.how is that bad? its the fantasy that only exists as an ideal currently."what would you do if you had enough money to never work another day" well we could in the future reach that state.its what our history has been leading up to. agricultural surplus meant we had more time for writing,inventing dances etc etc then we were able to drastically reduce the no. of people involved in that activity and look where we are today. this is not a comprehensive look at this aspect of our history dont quote me on it :P

U only speak of improvement, however fail to adress the short and medium term social degredation with unknown long term degredation. this is on the bais that a) never before in history has all forms of profestional employment never happed b4, hence the vast amount of unemployment created means that the vast amount of idividuals will lose there incomes (and sice ocupational mobility of labour is non existant as all profesions will be taked by AI there will be no alternatives emloyment avalable) hence wont be able to enjoy whtever beter services offered by AI. Further the only benifical party would be the large corparations making this AI however without a market they to will fail, moreover if managment of resources (i.e. the post of CEO type jobs) are also replaced by AI then there would be no gain there to humainty aswell. In addition wht this would mean is that the only feilds left for humanity would be feilds such as politics and philosophy which too would be obsolete as logic based AI would be more suited for politics than the more swayable human and then if all walks of soceity arent human wht is the point of human phillosophy (its like asking a dogs perspective on human soceity). Lastly wht this incures is that AI is the largest threat to human civilisation in todays context, it is of an imperative to improve tech to improve human soceity hover it is obsolete to create AI capable of replacing the economic and political capablities of humans as then there will not be a human society . ;'(

+Savant Gamage This is why our systems and social organisation have to change alongside our technological change. Before the industrial revolution people would almost exclusively work for themselves, almost everyone was "self employed." With the introduction of production and machine operation coupled with faster transport people began to move into cities as their trade lost value and opportunities to earn money by having a job in cities became available.The removing of those jobs by AI will force another social change which I couldn't predict myself. We could for example have basic income with very cheap and readily available goods and the opportunity to spend your time doing projects for yourself. People will always be doing and creating things, it's in our nature and why we are where we are today asking this question.

Lol. Well now we're talking about transhumanism and augmentation. I'm all for bodily upgrades. He he. There are all sorts of neat ways we can potentially upgrade our bodies. From fixing those bodily ailements that some may suffer from to just straight up improving ones abilities such as with the x-ray vision or night vision as you have suggested or in one of another myriad of things that can and will be done. One of the arguments is that we will begin augmenting ourselves with ai long before AI becomes self aware. So to expand upon your suggestiong what about neural networks in the brain that allow one to remember and recall everything? Or back up ones memory files to a hard drive in case of death? Or being able to share ones experience with someone else? Or nanobots in the body that repair cell damage and keep us young and healthy indefinitely?

Sure but that isn't really the greatest threat when it comes to creating AI. The greatest threat is a runaway intelligence that is capable of upgrading itself at such a rate we would be unable to comprehend its level of thinking inside of a week. At that point we are no longer the dominant intelligence on the planet.

If what you believe were true then the new information we generate on a daily basis wouldn't be happening. Also, technology is exactly what makes us more evolved than any other organism on this planet. Without technology we would not be the dominant species on the planet. Technology is us and we are technology. It is a part of our evolution. It is human and it isn't something seperate from us. In fact technology is the very reason we have evolved to the point wher you and i,  complete strangers,  can even have a discussion with one another.  How someone can make such a statment sitting behind a computer that is more powerful thant the computers that took us to the moon,  sitting behind a device that connects you with every other human being on earth with intenernet connectivity,  sitting behind a device that allows you the access to information that you need on anything at any given point....this is beyond my comprehension.

Ethical Leadership

Ethical Leadership means a variety of things, rather than one set definition. It means to be accountable for your actions in all aspects: in terms of profits, in terms of the quality of goods, in terms of employee conditions, and in terms of morality, which can also be broken down into world, community, etc. An ethical leader is never fully satisfied with a current situation--he/she is always looking for ways to improve some aspect--but at NO cost to others, for example, to create a better product but cause worse conditions for employees would NOT be ethical. An ethical leader uses the mission and vision of the corporation to set and accomplish goals while keeping everyone even remotely involved on the same page in terms of goals and how to accomplish them. An ethical leader is ready to make changes, he/she is always evolving as is the world and the marketplace.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XdUIqdMkCWA/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/4252rscbv5M/photo.jpg?sz=64
To me, ethical leadership, means an honorable and honest individual who sets the tone and the standards for the company. It means a person that is willing to do the right thing and stand firmly behind that decision. It is very easy to be dragged down by the simple unethical choices facing us throughout our lives, but ethical leaders will stand strong and hold fast to their strong sense of what is right. This can set the entre tone for a company or an organization and can trickle down throughout all employees. This was touched on in this video via its commentary on consequences of such actions.

(Les Strong) Enron truly is a cautionary tale about how poor business ethics can cause harm from both a micro and macro economic perspective. Although I believe ethics should be taught to someone at youth, I also understand the difficulty to do so, especially for large corporations who have pressure to generate profits and keep operating costs low. Ultimately, I agree with Mr. Kraus when he says a class in business ethics is required because it shouldn't be assumed people know how to be ethical.

Ethical leadership is combination of values and characteristics one has that is used to help build an organization to its full potential. An ethical leader is not only morally in tact but they tend to have only the best interest for the organization in mind when dealing with business. Characteristics that help build this type of leader includes honesty, teamwork, communication and dependability. These characteristics can make or break an organization as seen with Disney (make) and Enron (break).

(Virginia Talotta) Ethical leadership involves many different traits and skillsets. "Integrity, saying what you mean and meaning what you say", is the most important statement to take from this video as it sets the stage for creating an ethical corporate culture. Greed and gluttony sometimes takes over even with the most ethical people. Their own interests takes presidence over the company's interests as a whole.Group settings should be promoted because it helps to instill honesty and integrity.
https://gp6.googleusercontent.com/-xdmBJmnl6ik/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/hyKtr60mA-M/s48-c-k-no/photo.jpg?sz=64
Ethical leadership, to me, comes down to reliability, respect and accountability. An ethical leader can be relied on by employees to do the right thing and set an example for the rest of the organization. Ethical leadership also involves respecting employees and maintaining an environment where they feel comfortable and that their effort is appreciated. Additionally, an ethical leader is accountable for ensuring that the rest of the organization understands the code of conduct and enforces it.
https://i1.ytimg.com/i/8xbwf2xazQY6QHKEEHSYyQ/1.jpg?sz=64
Ethical Leadership is a product of aligning actions within the belief system in which the ethical standards are defined. Openly communicating and discussing ethics from an educational standpoint is very valuable, but truly developing the skills will come through experience. Understanding what is ethical compared to acting ethical when presented with a decision will provide a stonger evaluation of a person's ethical leadership and build credibility among spectators..employees, media, analysts.

Robert Flynn (MBA 574 SBPD). Ethical Leadership to me means leading people along an honest path. It may not be the path of least resistance, but it is the road to travel if you want integrity to cascade throughout your organization. Many of us are raised to know the difference between right and wrong, and we may feel that everyone has these same values instilled into their core. This isn't always the case, and companies need to teach ethics to ensure their employees remain on the right path.

This is interesting. Mr. Skilling says he was acting in the best interests of his shareholders. And how was that exactly? Clearly by NOT following the ethical standards that a company like Heinz sets forth in this video. I like the fact that the "code of ethics" is considered not to be some antiquated, obtuse tome by Heinz, but a living, breathing, organism, capable not only of growth, but to positively effect the people it's there to serve. Honesty needs to be discussed and honed.
https://gp5.googleusercontent.com/-v81JV5npF8c/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/BuwAnag5gHo/s48-c-k-no/photo.jpg?sz=64
Reinforcement of business ethics standards on a recurring basis helps for employees of corporations to see that their leaders really care that the company is run ethically. It takes more than a simple information letter to employees to communicate the company's ethical values. Managers should hold face to face meetings with their employees to discuss the implications of business decisions from an ethical point of view. Honesty and integrity are the foundations of ethical behavior.
https://gp5.googleusercontent.com/-8Wu7q-xMBxg/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/xG1rsC1R4ko/s48-c-k-no/photo.jpg?sz=64
Communication is an important tool in ethical leadership. Leaders have to strive for open dialogue with stakeholders on a continuos basis. Lack of communication gives place to unethical practices and makes management less accountable for it actions. It is important ot intergrate ethics in all business courses. Increasing the visbility of ethical practices and stressing on the benefits of ethical leadership will hopefully reduce the number of scandals in the future.

In my opinion, ethical leadership consists of many different personality traits. I believe responsibility is very important. When someone is thrust into a leadership position, they must recognize the importance of their position & of acting responsible. This means doing what’s best for the shareholders and the general public, regardless of how it may personally affect the person in charge. Too many executives do dirty things in order to save their own selves.

I like that the Heinz Corporation goes above and beyond what most corporations would do by providing their employees with training tools on ethical values that they believe are most important in the workplace and the public. Communicating to your employees is key to Ethical Leadership. Also, it is important that ALL employees follow policies and regulations, no matter what their position is. Everyone needs to be a team player. -A.E.Cooney

Ethical leadership requires a certain degree of personal character as well as passion- not just for making money, but for the intended purpose of the corporation and the people involved. Traits like trust, empathy, honesty, and a certain degree of selflessness are all required of a strong, ethical leader. These core values paired with a true sense of caring and passion for the work you do set the stage for a ethical leader.

I agree completely that ethics ultimately comes down to a persons morals and integrity that they are brought up with. I believe that ethics is something that has to be instilled in a person over time and is not something that can just be taught in a few hours in a class. I agree that a person who is "ethical" has to be reliable, respectable, and accountable for his/her actions as well as his/her employees.

A lot is being said lately comparing the debacle with the VW scandal to the Enron scandal. Both are examples of unethical behavior. It is unlikely that this scandal will be the end of VW the same way the Enron scandal lead to its ultimate downfall. I do believe that it will be interesting to see just how the recent events will play out and what the long term effects will be for VW.

I agree with Paul Hennigan that the most important values for ethical leadership are honestly and transparency. People want a leader that is trustworthy and that is able to build a sustainable business that is able to survive the ups and downs of the economy. Also, I feel that people appreciate a leader that is able to consider and value their opinions in a collaborative environment.

I agree that Ethics leadership needs to be taught more in business schools and should rely less on company handbooks. I think one key to accomplishing more ethical standards would be to look at the example from Pittsburgh Zoo where they are quite clear and transparent with team members and allow for a free flow and exchange of ideas and reviews of company procedures.

This is an interesting article on Forbes from just yesterday about the important of teaching ethics in business schools. Perhaps we'd end up with less Enrons and Madoffs if schools placed more emphasis on how to be an ethical leader. (it won't let me post a link, so the article is titled "Paying More Than Lip Service to Business Ethics" by Doug Guthrie on Forbes.)

Ultimately it comes down to a question of vice or virtue. Are you concerned with short term profits and self-serving interests? Or do you want to build a sustainable organization that is not only profitable but also an asset for your community? Communication and transparency are two of the most important aspects of an ethically sound and sustainable business.

I find a couple points in this video particularly useful -- the importance of transparency in organizational discussions and decision-making as a foundation of ethical leadership, and the challenge of calling out situations that veer into unethical behavior. As Kraus states, "It takes a lot of moral courage to step up and say, 'Something is not right.'"

Ethical leadership is incredibly important in organizations. When a leader demonstrates honesty, transparency, and integrity then the members in that organization will trust the leader and ultimately follow the leader. Communication in group settings also emphasizes honestly and transparency, which eliminates decisions to be made behind closed doors.

I agree that ethical leadership training is very important in all businesses. Heinz sets a great example to other companies by sending out newsletters and having their in house attorneys perform personal training to management at all of their facilities. I think that more companies should follow this example.

I like that Heinz produces online training tools to all employees. I also find it interesting that he himself travels all over the world to different heinz operations to train the employees in person. Agreeing with Paul, I feel that ethical behavior can really be simplified into honesty and transparancy.

I agree with Point Park’s President that ethical leadership is based on honesty and transparency and that starts with leaders. It is easy to follow a company’s overall goals and visions if the top people at the company are worth trusting and follow through on the integrity they promise.

Krause made a good point when he said that corporations cannot assume that every new hire they have and every employee they have has an understanding of what ethical behavior is so they offer classes online and in a classroom to help define what it is that Heinz expects from all employees.

Very good but short video on ethical and unethical choices and their consequences. I also enjoyed how many executive businesses are educating their employees and potential employees via online and person-to-person ethical courses.

I believe that one of the main keys to success in a company is open communication. By continually keeping employees educated on corporate policies and ethics, it reinstates how important those values are in that organization.

Below is a link of a radio broadcast on a South African radio station. Africa isn't left behind in the struggle to educate and train students to become the continents ethical leaders. .
