Postphenomenological Study: Using Generative Knowing and Science Fiction for Fostering Speculative Reflection on AI-nudge Experience.

Science and engineering ethics
This study presents an evidence-based argument for integrating participatory inquiry practices into AI education, using science fiction films as a primary tool for examining human-technology relationships. Through a media-enhanced co-inquiry approach...

Artefacts of Change: The Disruptive Nature of Humanoid Robots Beyond Classificatory Concerns.

Science and engineering ethics
One characteristic of socially disruptive technologies is that they have the potential to cause uncertainty about the application conditions of a concept i.e., they are conceptually disruptive. Humanoid robots have done just this, as evidenced by dis...

AI Ethics beyond Principles: Strengthening the Life-world Perspective.

Science and engineering ethics
The search for ethical guidance in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, especially in healthcare and decision support, remains a crucial effort. So far, principles usually serve as the main reference points to achieve ethically co...

Embedded Ethics in Practice: A Toolbox for Integrating the Analysis of Ethical and Social Issues into Healthcare AI Research.

Science and engineering ethics
Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into critical domains such as healthcare holds immense promise. Nevertheless, significant challenges must be addressed to avoid harm, promote the well-being of individuals and societies, and ensure ethically s...

A Bias Network Approach (BNA) to Encourage Ethical Reflection Among AI Developers.

Science and engineering ethics
We introduce the Bias Network Approach (BNA) as a sociotechnical method for AI developers to identify, map, and relate biases across the AI development process. This approach addresses the limitations of what we call the "isolationist approach to AI ...

Justifying Our Credences in the Trustworthiness of AI Systems: A Reliabilistic Approach.

Science and engineering ethics
We address an open problem in the philosophy of artificial intelligence (AI): how to justify the epistemic attitudes we have towards the trustworthiness of AI systems. The problem is important, as providing reasons to believe that AI systems are wort...

Supporting Trustworthy AI Through Machine Unlearning.

Science and engineering ethics
Machine unlearning (MU) is often analyzed in terms of how it can facilitate the "right to be forgotten." In this commentary, we show that MU can support the OECD's five principles for trustworthy AI, which are influencing AI development and regulatio...

Emotional Labor and the Problem of Exploitation in Roboticized Care Practices: Enriching the Framework of Care Centred Value Sensitive Design.

Science and engineering ethics
Care ethics has been advanced as a suitable framework for evaluating the ethical significance of assistive robotics. One of the most prominent care ethical contributions to the ethical assessment of assistive robots comes through the work of Aimee Va...

Responsibility Gap(s) Due to the Introduction of AI in Healthcare: An Ubuntu-Inspired Approach.

Science and engineering ethics
Due to its enormous potential, artificial intelligence (AI) can transform healthcare on a seemingly infinite scale. However, as we continue to explore the immense potential of AI, it is vital to consider the ethical concerns associated with its devel...

Owning Decisions: AI Decision-Support and the Attributability-Gap.

Science and engineering ethics
Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been recognised as a challenge to responsibility. Much of this discourse has been framed around robots, such as autonomous weapons or self-driving cars, where we arguably lack control over a machine's behaviour a...
