Building Ethics into Artificial Intelligence
  As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly ubiquitous, the
topic of AI governance for ethical decision-making by AI has captured public
imagination. Within the AI research community, this topic remains less familiar
to many researchers. In this paper, we complement existing surveys, which
largely focused on the psychological, social and legal discussions of the
topic, with an analysis of recent advances in technical solutions for AI
governance. By reviewing publications in leading AI conferences including AAAI,
AAMAS, ECAI and IJCAI, we propose a taxonomy which divides the field into four
areas: 1) exploring ethical dilemmas; 2) individual ethical decision
frameworks; 3) collective ethical decision frameworks; and 4) ethics in
human-AI interactions. We highlight the intuitions and key techniques used in
each approach, and discuss promising future research directions towards
successful integration of ethical AI systems into human societies.
