Different Facets for Different Experts: A Framework for Streamlining The Integration of Qualitative Insights into ABM Development
Vivek Nallur, Pedram Aghaei, Graham Finlay
A key problem in agent-based simulation is that integrating qualitative insights from multiple discipline experts is extremely hard. In most simulations, agent capabilities and cor…
Nudging Using Autonomous Agents: Risks and Ethical Considerations
Vivek Nallur, Karen Renaud, Aleksei Gudkov
This position paper briefly discusses nudging, its use by autonomous agents, potential risks and ethical considerations while creating such systems. Instead of taking a normative a…
Virtue Ethics For Ethically Tunable Robotic Assistants
Rajitha Ramanayake, Vivek Nallur
The common consensus is that robots designed to work alongside or serve humans must adhere to the ethical standards of their operational environment. To achieve this, several metho…
(Demo) Systematic Experimentation Using Scenarios in Agent Simulation: Going Beyond Parameter Space
Vivek Nallur, Pedram Aghaei, Graham Finlay
This paper demonstrates a disconnected ABM architecture that enables domain experts, and non-programmers to add qualitative insights into the ABM model without the intervention of…
Statutory Professions in AI governance and their consequences for explainable AI
Labhaoise NiFhaolain, Andrew Hines, Vivek Nallur
Intentional and accidental harms arising from the use of AI have impacted the health, safety and rights of individuals. While regulatory frameworks are being developed, there remai…
Immune Moral Models? Pro-Social Rule Breaking as a Moral Enhancement Approach for Ethical AI
Rajitha Ramanayake, Philipp Wicke, Vivek Nallur
We are moving towards a future where Artificial Intelligence (AI) based agents make many decisions on behalf of humans. From healthcare decision making to social media censoring, t…
Towards An Ethics-Audit Bot
Siani Pearson, Martin Lloyd, Vivek Nallur
In this paper we focus on artificial intelligence (AI) for governance, not governance for AI, and on just one aspect of governance, namely ethics audit. Different kinds of ethical…
Automation: An Essential Component Of Ethical AI?
Vivek Nallur, Martin Lloyd, Siani Pearson
Ethics is sometimes considered to be too abstract to be meaningfully implemented in artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we reflect on other aspects of computing that were…
Landscape of Machine Implemented Ethics
Vivek Nallur
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in machine ethics, that is, considerations of how to implement ethical behaviour in robots, unmanned autonomous vehicles, or software system…
"EHLO WORLD" -- Checking If Your Conversational AI Knows Right from Wrong
Elayne Ruane, Vivek Nallur
In this paper we discuss approaches to evaluating and validating the ethical claims of a Conversational AI system. We outline considerations around both a top-down regulatory appro…
Summary of a Literature Review in Scalability of QoS-aware Service Composition
Leticia Duboc, Faisal Alrebeish, Vivek Nallur +1
This paper shows that authors have no consistent way to characterize the scalability of their solutions, and so consider only a limited number of scaling characteristics. This revi…
Towards a Programmable Framework for Agent Game Playing
Francis Lawlor, Rem Collier, Vivek Nallur
The field of Game Theory provides a useful mechanism for modeling many decision-making scenarios. In participating in these scenarios individuals and groups adopt particular strate…
