Classes of Aggregation Rules for Ethical Decision Making in Automated Systems
We study a class of {\em aggregation rules} that could be applied to ethical AI decision-making. These rules yield the decisions to be made by automated systems based on the information of profiles of preferences over possible choices. We consider two different but very intuitive notions of preferences of an alternative over another one, namely {\it pairwise majority} and {\it position} dominance. Preferences are represented by permutation processes over alternatives and aggregation rules are applied to obtain results that are socially considered to be ethically correct. In this setting, we find many aggregation rules that satisfy desirable properties for an autonomous system. We also address the problem of the stability of the aggregation process, which is important when the information is variable. These results are a contribution for an AI designer that wants to justify the decisions made by an autonomous system.\\ \textit{Keywords:} Aggregation Operators; Permutation Process; Decision Analysis.

Proportional Aggregation of Preferences for Sequential Decision Making
We study the problem of fair sequential decision making given voter preferences. In each round, a decision rule must choose a decision from a set of alternatives where each voter reports which of these alternatives they …

Transparency is a key requirement for ethical machines. Verified ethical behavior is not enough to establish justified trust in autonomous intelligent agents: it needs to be supported by the ability to explain decisions.…

We present a general approach to automating ethical decisions, drawing on machine learning and computational social choice. In a nutshell, we propose to learn a model of societal preferences, and, when faced with a speci…

The ontological and epistemic complexities inherent in the moral domain make it challenging to establish clear standards for evaluating the performance of a moral machine. In this paper, we present a formal method to des…
Decision MakingThe Ethical Dilemma when (not) Setting up Cost-based Decision Rules in Semantic Segmentation
Neural networks for semantic segmentation can be seen as statistical models that provide for each pixel of one image a probability distribution on predefined classes. The predicted class is then usually obtained by the m…
