Symposium on Responsible Intelligent Systems: Concepts, Practices and 
Formal Models

11-13 February 2019, Utrecht, The Netherlands

In this symposium we look back at some of the results of the REINS 
project on responsible intelligent systems and look forward at new 
routes of investigation for responsible AI in general. The starting 
point of the REINS project was to develop logic-based modelling 
techniques that enable responsibility checking of artificial agents. As 
the project progressed, that goal evolved into a more general objective 
to understand the concepts involved in the modelling of responsibility, 
and to find the formal models that characterize them. Formalization has 
been the main focus throughout the project, paving the way for a more 
precise and operationalizable understanding of the concepts involved in 
responsibility, machine ethics and deontic reasoning. We believe the 
symbolic methods that we use in our model driven approach are essential 
to the solution of the problem of coming to responsible AI, since 
responsibility is too abstract and precarious a notion to be learned 
through data-driven approaches. However, the interplay between 
model-driven and data-driven approaches is one of the new future 
directions we are interested in. For this final symposium of the 
project, we invite philosophers, logicians and specialists from concrete 
application areas of responsible intelligent systems (the military, the 
police).
