Extensionally defining principles and cases in ethics: An AI model
2003
Artificial Intelligence
This paper discusses research in which the following hypothesis was empirically tested: extensionally defined principles, as well as cited past cases, can help in predicting the principles and cases that ...
To investigate this phenomenon computationally, a large set of professional ethics cases was analyzed and a computational model called SIROCCO, a system for retrieving principles and past cases, was constructed ...
I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers of the paper and the editors of this special edition of the AI Journal, who provided many helpful suggestions and comments. ...

Extensionally Defining Principles and Cases in Ethics: an AI model
2018

To investigate this phenomenon computationally, a large set of professional ethics cases was analyzed and a computational model called SIROCCO, a system for retrieving principles and past cases, was constructed ...
In particular, (1) the concept and use of operationalization of abstract principles in an ill-defined domain and (2) the example the SIROCCO project provides of how an AI model and methods can be used ...

Philosophical Specification of Empathetic Ethical Artificial Intelligence
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In order to construct an ethical artificial intelligence (AI) two complex problems must be overcome. Firstly, humans do not consistently agree on what is or is not ethical. ...
An ethical AI must be capable of inferring unspoken rules, interpreting nuance and context, possess and be able to infer intent, and explain not just its actions but its intent. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to acknowledge and thank the reviewers for their thoughtful and detailed feedback, which improved this paper substantially. ...

Particularism and Generalism: How AI can Help us to Better Understand Moral Cognition
[chapter]
2020
Machine Ethics and Robot Ethics
Neural network models of moral case classification are presented, and the contrast case method for testing and revising case classifications is considered. ...
Particularism and Generalism refer to families of attitudes towards moral principles. ...
It is in considering how to revise cases that principles (whether they are called contributory, open textured, extensionally defined, et cetera) will likely loom large. ...

Ethics and Good Practice in Computational Paralinguistics
2020
IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing
In this article, we try to set the scene by (1) giving a short overview of ethics and privacy, (2) describing the field of Computational Paralinguistics, its history and exemplary use cases, as well as ...
With the advent of 'heavy Artificial Intelligence' -big data, deep learning, and ubiquitous use of the internet, ethical considerations are widely dealt with in public discussions and governmental bodies ...
In [21] , Jobin et al. find a convergence around ethical principles in Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics guidelines, however, with "substantive divergence" as far as interpretation and implementation ...

Computational Models of Ethical Reasoning: Challenges, Initial Steps, and Future Directions
2006
IEEE Intelligent Systems
The other program, SIROCCO, accepts a single ethical dilemma and retrieves other cases and ethical principles that might be relevant. Neither program was designed to reach an ethical decision. ...
Here, I briefly describe a few of these programs and discuss in detail two programs that I developed, both of which employ techniques from the area of AI known as case-based reasoning and implement aspects ...

MicroRNA-1 Accelerates the Shortening of Atrial Effective Refractory Period by Regulating KCNE1 and KCNB2 Expression: An Atrial Tachypacing Rabbit Model
2013
PLoS ONE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of miR-1 on the atrial effective refractory period (AERP) in a right atrial tachypacing model and to elucidate the potential mechanisms. ...
The slowly activating delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs) and AERP in atrial cells were measured by whole cell patch clamp in vitro. ...
KCNB2 is expressed in the heart and affects cardiac K + currents [29] , but the extensional process remains unclear. ...

The Ethical Gravity Thesis: Marrian Levels and the Persistence of Bias in Automated Decision-making Systems
2021
Proceedings of the 2021 AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society
Computers are used to make decisions in an increasing number of domains. There is widespread agreement that some of these uses are ethically problematic. ...
This paper expands and defends the Ethical Gravity Thesis: ethical problems that arise at higher levels of analysis of an automated decision-making system are inherited by lower levels of analysis. ...
In each case, however, we can view the functionally defined problem through a mathematical lens-and, indeed, we must do so if we are to program a computer to find the answer we seek. ...

An AI investigation of citation's epistemological role
2001
Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Artificial intelligence and law - ICAIL '01
This paper describes how we used an AI model for retrieving ethics cases to investigate empirically the epistemological contributions of a decision-makers' citing cases and code provisions in justifying ...
After investigating hundreds of professional ethics case opinions, we hypothesized that the decision-makers' explanations extensionally defined principles over time, in effect, operationalizing them. ...
Here an AI model enables us to do exactly that. ...
