Dear Colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
Artificial intelligence (AI) has entered an increasing number of different domains. A growing number of people – in the general public as well as in research – have started to consider a number of potential ethical challenges and legal issues related to the
development and use of AI technologies.<br class="">
<br class="">
Among the most important challenges are those related to privacy, fairness, transparency, safety and security. Countermeasures can be taken first at design time, second, when a user should decide where and when to apply a system and third, when a system is
in use in its environment. In the latter case, there will be a need for the system by itself to perform some ethical reasoning if operating in an autonomous mode.<br class="">
<br class="">
In this tutorial, we would target to present a structured overview with a focus on the most important ethical issues and their countermeasures. It will also introduce some examples from our own and others ́ work and how the challenges can be addressed both
from a technical and human side. AI ethical issues should not be seen only as challenges but also as new research opportunities contributing to more sustainable, socially beneficial services and systems.<br class="">
<br class="">
The tutorial will be given 4 Dec 2022 and last for two hours.<br class="">
