SUMMARY:PhD Defense – Modeling Norms for Social Simulations: Increasing Realism in Social Simulations to Support Decision Makers in Their Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Christian Kammler defends his doctoral thesis\, “Modeling norms for social simulations: increasing realism in social simulations to support decision makers in their decision making” at Umeå University. \nAbstract\nIt is very challenging for policymakers and other decision makers to make any kind of decision on a new policy\, as the reaction of a person to that policy (policy as one form of a norm) in a given situation is highly individual and based on their own subjective perspective. This becomes even more challenging in environments with a high degree of uncertainty (as is usually the case for policymakers). \nSocial simulations are a powerful tool for policymakers and other decision makers to support them in their decision-making process. To build agent-based social simulations that provide this support two main challenges exist: norm (policy) realistic behavior and the usability of the simulation. \nNorm realistic behavior includes differentiated norm engagement as well as seeing norms as more than just restrictions on behavior. Situated norm engagement means that people react differently to norms and focus only on the parts that are relevant for them. Seeing norms as more than just restrictions on behavior means that people can also violate norms and be motivated to circumvent norms. To address these two parts\, we formalize different perspectives on norms and develop a novel agent deliberation architecture\, called the Perspective-Based Agent Deliberation Architecture (PBADA) that can represent different perspectives on norms. Another key element of our agent deliberation architecture is that norms are explicit objects. \nHaving norms as explicit objects is crucial for addressing the challenge of usability of the simulation. It allows policymakers to modify them interactively in the simulation. In general\, we see usability as empowering the policy maker to use the simulation in a – for them – meaningful way. Policymakers need to understand how a norm (policy) is influencing the behavior of the agents and in what way. Furthermore\, policymakers need to be able to modify existing norms and add new ones on the fly. This requires interaction tools and visualization capabilities necessary to support them in this process. To address this challenge\, we present preliminary work on such an interaction tool.  \nRead full thesis. \nSupervisor\nFrank Dignum\, Professor at Department of Computing science\, Umeå University \nOpponent\nJavier Vázquez-Salceda\, Professor at Department of Computer Science\, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech\, Spain \nRead more about the defense.

SUMMARY:PhD Defense – How to Build Nice Robots: Ethics from Theory to Machine Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Jakob Stenseke defends his doctoral thesis\, “How to build nice robots: Ethics from theory to machine implementation\,” at Lunds University. Click here for a link to the dissertation.  Click here for a link to the event page at Lund University.  \nAbstract\nThis thesis investigates morality from a computational perspective by examining how machines can be developed with capacities for moral reasoning and action. It addresses how to overcome interdisciplinary boundaries between moral philosophy and computer science (Paper I)\, proposes a virtue-theoretic framework for artificial moral cognition (Papers II and III)\, and highlights issues of using normative ethics in moral machine design (Paper IV). Additionally\, it analyzes how ethical decision-making is enabled and constrained by computational resources (Paper V) and explores artificial moral agency – first through an examination of Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (Paper VI)\, and then by proposing a theory that bridges capacity-based and practice-based approaches (Paper VII). The work unfolds along two main threads: Practically\, it argues that moral machines should be developed ‘bottom-up’\, with careful attention to the moral and non-moral aspects of the human practices in which they are meant to operate. Theoretically\, it demonstrates that a computational approach to morality offers exciting opportunities to integrate diverse interdisciplinary insights\, thereby enriching our understanding of morality itself. Taken together\, this work provides a smorgasbord of challenges and possibilities for moral machines\, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary collaboration\, technical feasibility\, and grounding in human practice. \nSupervisor\n\nBjörn Petersson\nChristian Balkenius\nYlva von Gerber\nTrond Arild Tjøstheim\n\nOpponent\nVincent Müller

SUMMARY:En ny regulatorisk verklighet? Perspektiv på AI-juridiken i praktiken
DESCRIPTION:Om\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Program\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Medverkande\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Anmälan\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mer\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Det senaste decenniet har EU lagstiftat på en mängd olika områden som alla har bäring på hur teknik av olika slag skapas och hanteras. Få branscher och sektorer undgår effekterna av de nya reglerna\, oavsett om det handlar om offentlig eller privat verksamhet. Ambitionen har varit att stärka grundläggande rättigheter (integritet och dataskydd) samt söka få datadriven teknik att tjäna både allmänna och kommersiella värden. Idag måste alla\, oavsett bransch\, förhålla sig till vitt skilda regelverk såsom GDPR\, AI-förordningen\, Data Act\, Data Governance Act\, Digital Services Act och Digital Markets Act. Denna regulatoriska utveckling sker dock samtidigt som utvecklingen i USA har medfört en stark efterfrågan på avreglering och/eller offentliga investeringar för ökad europeisk konkurrenskraft. Under tiden fortsätter tekniken att utvecklas. \nI detta samverkansmöte önskar vi lyfta frågor som dagens situation gett upphov till. Välkommen att tillsammans med forskare\, experter och praktiker samtala om bl.a. följande: Spelar alla nya regleringar någon roll i att vi i EU hamnat på efterkälken? Är kostnaderna för att leva upp till regelverkens krav proportionerliga till målen? Vilka möjligheter finns att hantera rättsläget genom avtal idag? Vilken roll ska juridiken spela i framtidens EU\, ska den t.ex. främst slå vakt om etablerade institutioner eller om konkurrenskraften? \nWASP-HS Community Reference Meetings (CRMs) riktar sig till både offentliga och privata organisationer i Sverige. Syftet med mötena är att ge er en chans att ta del av aktuella frågor samt att WASP-HS ska få möjlighet att presentera de senaste forskningsrönen inom programmet. Målet är att tillsammans identifiera nya samarbetsmöjligheter över olika sektorer. Detta specifika möte fokuserar på hur den nya regulatoriska verkligheten inom EU påverkar AI och teknik i praktiken. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Program\n13.00-13.10 Välkommen och inledningAnna-Sara Lind\, professor i offentlig rätt\, Uppsala universitet\, WASP-HS \n13.10-13.25 Keynote 1Patrick Joyce\, Chefsekonom\, Almega  \n13.25-13.40 Keynote 2Andreas Kotsios\, jur. dr i Europarätt\, Uppsala universitet\, WASP-HS \n13.40-13.50 Frågor \n13.50-14.35 Rundabordssamtal med deltagarna på platsInkl. fika \n14.35-15.20 PanelsamtalMalou Larsson Klevhill\, docent i civilrätt\, Uppsala universitet\, WASP-HSDavid Törngren\, rättschef\, IntegritetsskyddsmyndighetenSofia Edvardsen\, partner\, Sharp Cookie AdvisorsHelena Eriksvik\, Chief Privacy Officer\, EricssonModerator: Carolina Brånby\, jurist\, Svenskt Näringsliv\, styrelseledamot WASP-HS  \n15.20-15.30 Nästa steg och avslutningAnna-Sara Lind\, professor i offentlig rätt\, Uppsala universitet\, WASP-HS \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Medverkande\nKeynote speakers\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Patrick JoyceKeynote 1\,Chefsekonom\, Almega \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Andreas KotsiosKeynote 2\,jur. dr i Europarätt\, Uppsala universitet \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Paneldeltagare\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Malou Larsson KlevhillDocent i civilrätt\, Uppsala universitet \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				David Törngren\,Rättschef\, Integritetsskydds-myndigheten \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sofia Edvardsen\,Partner\, Sharp Cookie Advisors \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Helena Eriksvik\,Chief Privacy Officer\,Ericsson \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Carolina Brånby\,Moderator\,Jurist\, Svenskt Näringsliv \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Anmälan\nAnmälan är stängd. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Arrangerande grupp\nCarolina Brånby\, Jurist och policyansvarig på Svenskt Näringsliv.Anna-Sara Lind\, Professor i offentlig rätt vid Uppsala universitet.Magnus Strand\, Forskningsledare inom handelsrätt vid Uppsala universitet samt redaktör för Europarättslig tidskrift (ERT).
