Think of the Defense Department’s new list of Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence as a starting framework to help guide the thinking of people who will ultimately make the hard decisions: what’s right or wrong, then how to teach a machine to tell the difference.

In a special public lecture Feb. 25 at the University of Colorado Boulder, Mark Sirangelo, a Scholar-in-Residence in the Ann and H.J.
