We encourage people to be philanthropic. Should we try to infuse AI with a sense of philanthropy?

Tuesday November 30 is Giving Tuesday - which reminds us of the importance of philanthropy. Philanthropy, including giving to the IEEE Foundation is encouraged to advance technology for the benefit of humanity. Engineers are currently trying to infuse AI with a sense of ethics and ethical actions. 
  • Do you believe philanthropy is a vital part of human ethics? 
  • Do you practice philanthropy?
  • Should we try to infuse philanthropy into AI? 
  • How could we do this?  Is it foolish to try?
