Value Sensitive Design meets Participatory Value Evaluation for autonomous systems in Defence

We use Value Sensitive Design for the development of an ethical framework for autonomous systems in Defence in the Australian context. Two novel empirical data gathering methods are deployed for mining stakeholder's values, namely Group Decision Room (GDR) and Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE). GDR findings reveal a general concern for...

NORMalize: The First Workshop on Normative Design and Evaluation of Recommender Systems

Recommender systems are among the most widely used applications of artificial intelligence. Since they are so widely used, it is important that we, as practitioners and researchers, think about the impact these systems may have on users, society, and other stakeholders. To that effect, the NORMalize workshop seeks to introduce normative thinking...

Values in the filter bubble Ethics of Personalization Algorithms in Cloud Computing

Cloud services such as Facebook and Google search started to use personalization algorithms in order to deal with growing amount of data online. This is often done in order to reduce the “information overload”. User’s interaction with the system is recorded in a single identity, and the information is personalized for the user using this...
