- Title: Quelle {é}thique pour quelle IA ?
- Authors: David Doat,
- Abstract summary: This study proposes an analysis of the different types of ethical approaches involved in the ethics of AI.
The author introduces to the contemporary need for and meaning of ethics, distinguishes it from other registers of normativities and underlines its inadequacy to formalization.
The study concludes with a reflection on the reasons why a human ethics of AI based on a pragmatic practice of contextual ethics remains necessary and irreducible to any formalization or automated treatment of the ethical questions that arise for humans.

- Abstract: This study proposes an analysis of the different types of ethical approaches involved in the ethics of AI, and situates their interests and limits. First, the author introduces to the contemporary need for and meaning of ethics. He distinguishes it from other registers of normativities and underlines its inadequacy to formalization. He then presents a cartography of the landscape of ethical theories covered by moral philosophy, taking care to distinguish meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. In drawing up this overview, the author questions the relationship between ethics and artificial intelligence. The analysis focuses in particular on the main ethical currents that have imposed themselves in the ways of doing digital ethics and AI in our Western democracies. The author asks whether these practices of ethics, as they seem to crystallize today in a precise pattern, constitute a sufficient and sufficiently satisfactory response to our needs for ethics in AI. The study concludes with a reflection on the reasons why a human ethics of AI based on a pragmatic practice of contextual ethics remains necessary and irreducible to any formalization or automated treatment of the ethical questions that arise for humans.

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 paper provides an overview of the risks and challenges associated with big models, surveys existing AI ethics guidelines, and examines the ethical implications arising from the limitations of these models.
We introduce a novel conceptual paradigm for aligning the ethical values of big models and discuss promising research directions for alignment criteria, evaluation, and method.

Literature Review [12.941478155592502]
In recent years, numerous incidents have raised the profile of ethical issues in AI development and led to public concerns about the proliferation of AI technology in our everyday lives.
We conducted a grounded theory literature review (GTLR) of 38 primary empirical studies that included AI practitioners' views on ethics in AI.
We present a taxonomy of ethics in AI from practitioners' viewpoints to assist AI practitioners in identifying and understanding the different aspects of AI ethics.

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.
