THIS GRANT IS A CONTINUATION OF N00014-14-1-0144 Moral Competence in Computational Architectures for Robots: Foundations, Implementations, and Demonstrations
Abstract
What constitutes human moral competence and what is required to replicate it in computational artifacts are not yet fully understood. For example, it is unclear exactly what moral computations and action representations are presupposed by moral competence, and therefore also what cognitive mechanisms are required to implement such competence in artificial cognitive systems. Nor is it clear yet what the potential effects of artificial moral agents might be on humans. The objective of this effort is to perform research and to develop enhancements to cognitive architectures supporting commonsense moral cognition and corresponding explanation, especially when prescriptive norms (e.g. the rules of warfare) don?t adequately determine a unique course of action.
