A draft on ethical guidlines from the European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence

On December 18 last year, the European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence released a draft for their Ethics Guidlines for Trustworthy AI. They are now inviting stakeholders to submit comments on the draft, with a deadline on January 18. As a world citizen and a human being, I consider myself very much a stakeholder (and perhaps one or two of the readers of this blog will feel the same?), so I took the time to submit some comments (see this pdf) on a few of the central sections of the report.
