Evolving Machine Morality Strategies Through Multiagent Simulations, David Burke
Evolving Machine Morality Strategies Through Multiagent Simulations, David Burke
Systems Science Friday Noon Seminar Series
There is a general consensus among robotics researchers that the world of the future will be filled with autonomous and semi-autonomous machines. There is less of a consensus, though, on the best approach to instilling a sense of 'machine morality' in these systems so that they will be able to have effective interactions with humans in an increasingly complex world. In my talk, we take a brief look at some existing approaches to computational ethics, and then describe work we've undertaken creating multiagent simulations involving moral decision-making during strategic interactions. In these simulations, agents make choices about whether to cooperate …
