This symposium will facilitate a deeper discussion on how intelligence, agency, and ethics may intermingle in organizations and in software implementations. For example, ethical behavior can be formulated as rules, values, quantitative measures, principles, regulations, and in a number of other ways. What are the consequences of implementing each approach? How can AI ethics take advantage of technologies for building explainable, interpretable, robust, safe, and secure AI? Can AI ethics help people make more ethical choices when grappling with the choices they already make regularly?
​
Practitioners, companies, policy makers, professional bodies, technology providers, researchers, and academics with an interest in the implications of concrete implementations of machine ethics are welcome to participate. We particularly encourage speakers from diverse fields since we view the ethics of AI to be a collaborative, bottom-up exercise. We would like to be a venue for disparate approaches (technical, legal, philosophical and sociological) rather than a closed venue where only optimization with regard to specific functions are discussed.
