Workshop in Manchester on Formal Ethical Agents and Robots

A workshop will be held at the University of Manchester on 11 November 2024 that can be located in the field of machine ethics. The following information can be found on the website: „Recent advances in artificial intelligence have led to a range of concerns about the ethical impact of the technology. This includes concerns about the day-to-day behaviour of robotic systems that will interact with humans in workplaces, homes and hospitals. One of the themes of these concerns is the need for such systems to take ethics into account when reasoning. This has generated new interest in how we can specify, implement and validate ethical reasoning.“ (Website iFM 2024) The aim of this workshop, to be held in conjunction with iFM 2024, would be to explore formal approaches to these issues. Submission deadline is 8 August, notification is 12 September. More information at ifm2024.cs.manchester.ac.uk/fear.html.
