What are some good books on AI ethics?

Compulsive reading is now challenged by chatbots, and literary stasis or equilibrium by language models trained on the totality. Newer books include the big news over the past couple of years such as machine learning after algorithms, GPT-4, generative and multimodal AIs, and the Nobel Prizes. The prior ones might have more reviews though which show up in search, that sponsorship often changing hands. Autonomous arms are actively split between East and West. Futurists can check off a couple of things, and still see more emerging tech as well as competition under constraints of climate. You can find many lit reviews in the papers on preprint engines now. This is for a public weaned on cyberpunk sci-fi and games. Philosophers still argue between speculation and analysis. Regulators are continent or country-specific—the moral being about individual values recognized by a common AGI sooner rather than later. Since Zeno, infinities have been something to avoid, but new fields are still built out of begging the question as a method, approximation, or proxy, e.g. quantum, computing, and simulation. Including what about human nature is revealed and its relationship to ideology. AI also assists in writing. So your follow-up questions to those in the books could produce another.
