Connectionists: [meetings] SSCI2022 tutorial on Ethical Challenges and Opportunities

[Jim Tørresen]

Dear Colleagues,

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.

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.

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.

The tutorial will be given 4 Dec 2022 and last for two hours.
