Special Issue on Ethical, Legal and Responsible AI
*Journal*: Ethics and Information Technology
<https://www.springer.com/journal/10676/> (Springer)**
*Editors*: *Virginia Dignum
<https://www.umu.se/en/staff/virginia-dignum/>*, *Fosca Gianotti

Artificial Intelligence is transforming work, organisations, industries
and society. Despite the many potential benefits of this general-purpose
technology, there are significant challenges and risks, ranging from
privacy, security, ethics, transparency and regulation. The
prioritization of ethical, legal, and policy considerations in the
development and management of AI systems to ensure responsible design,
production and use of trustworthy AI requires integration of
engineering, policy, law and ethics approaches.
This special issue is the result of collaboration between the EU Horizon
2020 projects HumaneAI-Net <https://www.humane-ai.eu/>, TAILOR
<https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/952215>and AI4EU
<https://www.ai4eu.eu/>.
This special issue calls for research papers, project reports, or
position papers focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Accounts (and criteria of adequacy) of *moral values*, especially in
the context of the human AI interaction (with reference to some
prominent values in the Ethics & AI debate, e.g. accountability,
privacy, fairness.)
* Experiences on *designing and operationalising Human Values and
Ethical principles*
* Methods for *measuring values and norms *in the human-AI ecosystem
as required by an agile approach to designing for values.
* Approaches to understand *how values can change* (or their
balance/priorities are modified) as a side effect of complex
interaction between humans and AI systems in a complex
socio-technical ecosystem, also with respect to the above mentioned
value hierarchy.
* Emergence and resolutions of*value conflicts* by design
* Theory and methods to deal with ethical dilemmas and *value
prioritization*, ensuring that such decisions are open, transparent
and amenable to argumentation and participation of a wide range of
stakeholders.
* Critical scholarship addressing the *power structures and
imbalances* as these shape the production and adoption of AI systems
* Ethical importance of epistemic conditions for *responsibility* for
design and use of AI systems (e.g. contextuality of notions such as
‘understanding’ ‘explaining’ and making ‘transparent’ the working of
deep learning).
* Understand the *relation of Humane-ness, human centeredness, human
dignity* in the application of AI.
* Experiences in *education and training* of ethical, legal and
responsible AI.
