• Title: Professional Ethics by Design: Co-creating Codes of Conduct for Computational Practice
• Authors: Samuel Danzon-Chambaud and Marguerite Foissac
• Abstract summary: This paper deals with the importance of developing codes of conduct for practitioners--be it journalists, doctors, attorneys, or other professions--that are encountering ethical issues when using computation. We argue for taking a design-inspired approach when encoding professional ethics into a computational form, so as to co-create codes of conduct for computational practice across a wide range of fields.

• Abstract: This paper deals with the importance of developing codes of conduct for practitioners--be it journalists, doctors, attorneys, or other professions--that are encountering ethical issues when using computation, but do not have access to any framework of reference as to how to address those. At the same time, legal and technological developments are calling for establishing such guidelines, as shown in the European Union's and the United States' efforts in regulating a wide array of artificial intelligence systems, and in the resurgence of rule-based models through 'neurosymbolic' AI, a hybrid format that combines them with neural methods. Against this backdrop, we argue for taking a design-inspired approach when encoding professional ethics into a computational form, so as to co-create codes of conduct for computational practice across a wide range of fields.

  The introduction of the AI Act in the European Union presents the AI research and practice community with a set of new challenges related to compliance.<n>Previous research on toolkits that aim to translate the theory of AI ethics into development and deployment practice suggests that such resources suffer from multiple limitations.<n>These limitations stem from the fact that the toolkits are either produced by industry-based teams or by academics whose work tends to be abstract and divorced from the realities of industry.

  Common barriers to adoption include overly abstract language, poor accessibility, and insufficient practical guidance for implementation. Through participatory design with industry practitioners, we developed an open-source tool that bridges this gap. Our tool is firmly grounded in normative ethical frameworks while offering concrete, actionable guidance in an intuitive format.

  This article aims to ground what we dub the "participatory turn" in AI design by synthesizing existing theoretical literature on participation. We articulate empirical findings concerning the current state of participatory practice in AI design based on an analysis of recently published research and semi-structured interviews with 12 AI researchers and practitioners.

  We describe how technology and design practitioners negotiate their conception of ethics as they reflect upon their everyday work. Across three cases, we describe how ethics was negotiated through language across three key zones of ecological emergence. Building on these findings, we describe how the languaging of ethics reveals opportunities to definitionally and practically engage with ethics in technology ethics research, practice, and education.

Our proposed approach enhances the performance of neural models by effectively training word vectors using routine medical data as well as external knowledge from scientific articles.
