- Abstract: Ethics is an ancient matter for human kind, from the origin of civilizations
ethics have been related with the most relevant human concerns and determined
cultures. Ethics was initially related to religion, politics and philosophy to
then be fragmented into specific communities of practice. The undergoing
digital revolution enabled by Artificial Intelligence and Data are bringing
ethical wicked problems in the social application of these technologies.
However, a broader perspective is also necessary. We now face global and highly
dynamics challenges that affect groups and individuals, specially those that
are most vulnerable. Individual-oriented ethics are no longer sufficient, the
new ethic has to consider the several scales in which the current complex
society is organized and the interconnections between different systems. Ethics
should also give a response to the systemic changes in behavior produced by
external factors and threats. Furthermore, AI and digital technologies are
global and make us more connected and smart but also more homogeneous,
predictable and ultimately controllable. Ethic must take a stand to preserve
and keep promoting individuals rights and uniqueness and cultural
heterogeneity. Digital technologies have to the foundation for new models of
society and help ensure ethical individual and collective values. For these
reasons science has to be at the core of the new ethic as it helps understand
the complex world. Finally, AI has advanced through the ambition to humanize
matter, so we should expect ethics to give a response to the future status of
machines and their interactions with humans.

This interdisciplinary position paper considers various concerns surrounding fairness and discrimination in AI, and discusses how AI regulations address them.
We first look at AI and fairness through the lenses of law, (AI) industry, sociotechnology, and (moral) philosophy, and present various perspectives.
We identify and propose the roles AI Regulation should take to make the endeavor of the AI Act a success in terms of AI fairness concerns.

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.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society.
A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests.
This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
