Scored criteria

Actionability

1/2

Level 1: Provides general direction and principles regarding embedding ethical control into operating systems without naming specific binding steps.

The authors argue that unless computational deontic logics (or, for that matter, any other class of systems for mechanizing moral and/or legal principles) or achieving ethical control of future AIs and robots are woven into the operating-system level of such artifacts, such control will be at best dangerously brittle.

Authority

1/2
