- Abstract: Several seminal ethics initiatives have stipulated sets of principles and
standards for good technology development in the AI sector. However, widespread
criticism has pointed out a lack of practical realization of these principles.
Following that, AI ethics underwent a practical turn, but without deviating
from the principled approach and the many shortcomings associated with it. This
paper proposes a different approach. It defines four basic AI virtues, namely
justice, honesty, responsibility and care, all of which represent specific
motivational settings that constitute the very precondition for ethical
decision making in the AI field. Moreover, it defines two second-order AI
virtues, prudence and fortitude, that bolster achieving the basic virtues by
helping with overcoming bounded ethicality or the many hidden psychological
forces that impair ethical decision making and that are hitherto disregarded in
AI ethics. Lastly, the paper describes measures for successfully cultivating
the mentioned virtues in organizations dealing with AI research and
development.

I argue that these insufficiencies could be mitigated by developing a research agenda for a feminist metaethics of AI.
Applying this perspective to the context of AI, I suggest that a feminist metaethics of AI would examine: (i) the continuity between theory and action in AI ethics; (ii) the real-life effects of AI ethics; (iii) the role and profile of those involved in AI ethics; and (iv) the effects of AI on power relations through methods that pay attention to context, emotions and narrative.

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.
