[agents] Call for Participation - 2nd Workshop on Implementing Machine Ethics

[Vivek Nallur]

The School of Computer Science, UCD would like to invite registrations for
the 2nd Workshop on Implementing Machine Ethics. Participation is welcome
from practitioners, professionals, junior researchers, and senior
academics, who have an interest in the technological, political, social,
legal and philosophical implications of concrete implementations of ethics
in machines. The workshop is free to attend, but we request registration to
allow for participant-management.

The Workshop deliberately avoids discipline-specific tracks to allow
participants from multiple disciplines to interact and exchange views.
Presentations will be on the following themes / questions:

   - Are ethics expressible in algorithmic form?
   - Who is responsible for ethical violations by a machine?
   - Can ethical behaviour be guaranteed or verified in computational media?
   - Relationships between humans and machines in the presence of hybrid
   actions
   - Social implications of trust, and dependence on cognitive assemblages
   - Can ethical responsibility be assigned when decision-making is
   distributed?
   - Do ethically-capable machines have rights? Where do these stand in
   relation to human-rights?

The main thrust of the workshop will be on bringing multiple perspectives
to bear on an acceptable description of ethical machines. The talks and
discussion will be devoted to synthesising a joint multi-faceted notion of
ethical machines around the themes and questions listed above.
