Abstract
Implementing Ethics in AI
The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed rapidly in the past few years. AI systems are having a growing impact on society and concerns have been raised whether AI system can be trusted. A way to address these concerns is to employ ethically aligned design principles to the development of AI software. Yet these principles are still far away from practical application. This talk provides state-of-the-art empirical insight into what should researchers and professionals do today when the client wants ethics to be added to their system.
