- Abstract: Much of the existing research on the social and ethical impact of Artificial
Intelligence has been focused on defining ethical principles and guidelines
surrounding Machine Learning (ML) and other Artificial Intelligence (AI)
algorithms [IEEE, 2017, Jobin et al., 2019]. While this is extremely useful for
helping define the appropriate social norms of AI, we believe that it is
equally important to discuss both the potential and risks of ML and to inspire
the community to use ML for beneficial objectives. In the present article,
which is specifically aimed at ML practitioners, we thus focus more on the
latter, carrying out an overview of existing high-level ethical frameworks and
guidelines, but above all proposing both conceptual and practical principles
and guidelines for ML research and deployment, insisting on concrete actions
that can be taken by practitioners to pursue a more ethical and moral practice
of ML aimed at using AI for social good.

I argue that efforts to promote responsible and ethical AI can inadvertently contribute to and seemingly legitimize this disregard for established contextual norms.
I question the current narrow prioritization in AI ethics of moral innovation over moral preservation.

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence in scientific research has outpaced the development of ethical guidelines.
Existing approaches offer little practical guidance for addressing ethical challenges of AI in scientific research practices.
I propose a user-centered, realism-inspired approach to bridge the gap between abstract principles and day-to-day research practices.

Increasing interest in ensuring the safety of next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems calls for novel approaches to embedding morality into autonomous agents.
We provide a systematization of existing approaches to the problem of introducing morality in machines - modelled as a continuum.
We argue that more hybrid solutions are needed to create adaptable and robust, yet controllable and interpretable agentic systems.

Benchmarks are seen as the cornerstone for measuring technical progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research.
An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system.
We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
