Moral Exercises for Human Oversight of AI Systems
Teresa Scantamburlo and Silvia Crafa
Abstract:
The interactive session addresses the challenge of ethical reflection in AI research and practice. Human judgement is crucial in balancing accuracy and fairness trade-offs and overseeing AI system behaviour. To support ethical reflection and judgement we propose the experience of moral exercises: structured activities aimed at engaging AI actors in realistic ethical problems involving the development or use of an AI system. Participants undergo guided exercises involving scenario analysis, individual and group work, highlighting consensus and divergences on the problem at stake. The initiative will promote the development of moral exercises and help refine the methodology for AI ethics education.
