<b>Can we, should we, build ethically-aware agents?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">In the near future, the public will encounter new AI applications in domains such as transportation and healthcare. These applications must be introduced in ways that build trust and
understanding, and respect human and civil rights. In fact, the issue of the Ethics of AI is hot. You can’t click on a news site nor open a newspaper these days without finding an article about the role of ethics in Artificial Intelligence. If we wish to avoid
unintended negative consequences for society, the hype around this subject is warranted. However, many of the issues raise questions, from a technical and societal view.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">Ethics by Design concerns the methods, algorithms and tools needed to endow autonomous agents with the capability to reason about the ethical aspects of their decisions, and, the methods,
tools and formalisms to guarantee that an agent’s behavior remains within given moral bounds. How and to what extent can agents understand the social reality in which they operate, and the other intelligences (AI, animal and humans) with which it co-exists?
What are the ethical concerns in the emerging new forms of society, and how do we ensure the human dimension is upheld in interactions and decisions by autonomous agents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">We will take a highly interactive approach, rather than a traditional paper presentation format. After a short introduction of the topic and aims of the day, the topic will be further
elaborated by the invited speaker (tba) and short pitches by participants. After this, participants will discuss specific hot topics in groups, following a semi-structured deliberation method aimed at generating a few concrete points for action. The day will
conclude with the plenary presentation of these points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
