Should an
autonomous
vehicle….
… ALWAYS OBEY
SPEED LIMITS
EVEN WHEN IT IS
CHASED BY BAD
GUYS IN A CAR
BEHIND IT ?
… STAY IN ITS LANE
EVEN IF OTHER
CARS AROUND IT
SWERVE TO
OPPOSITE LANE
TO CIRCUMVENT
THE PROTRUDING
BRANCH OF A
TREE ?
… CHOOSE TO
SAVE THE LIFE OF
ITS OCCUPANTS
INSTEAD OF
PEDESTRIANS ?
Now that we have asked the easy questions….
Should the moral compass
be different for a private
car vs a public vehicle ?
Should a police car sacrifice
itself while a school bus
should sacrifice pedestrians
?
Should an autonomous
vehicle have different moral
compass if its passengers
cannot take control ?
Zero, to the power of Ethics !
Zero Crashes Zero Emissions Zero Congestion
Do we need ethics when we have laws ?
EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT
FORBIDDEN IS ALLOWED
NO CRIME IS POSSIBLE
IF THERE IS NO LAW
If only someone codified
ethics …
American Statistical
Association has a code of
ethics fordata
www.amstat.org/asa/files/pd
fs/EthicalGuidelines.pdf
ACM Code of Ethics was
published in 1993
www.acm.org/code-of-ethics
And yet…
Ethics is not a compulsory paper in most universities
We don’t use thoughtful tests for ethics when hiring
We wonder why see plenty of unethical computing around us
Walking the talk on ethical computing
INFORMED CONSENT
– LEGAL AND ETHICAL
BALANCING USER
EXPERIENCE WITH
ETHICS
WHAT DATA DO YOU
COLLECT ….AND WHY
?
TESTING FOR
FAIRNESS
IMPLEMENTING A
CULTURE OF
CHECKLISTS
EXPLAINABILITY
The “Acid tests” for engineers
WILL I BE OK IF THIS DATA WAS ABOUT
ME ?
AM I COMFORTABLE STOPPING
UNETHICAL CODE FROM GOING TO
PRODUCTION ?
