Autonomy and Affinity in AI Development and Use

科学技術振興機構（JST）社会技術研究開発センター（RISTEX）科学技術の倫理的・法制度的・社会的課題（ELSI）への包括的実践研究開発プログラム

October 2021 to March 2025 (in progress)

​

As artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapidly developed, humanity has met an increasing number of philosophical and moral challenges including new forms of threat against individual autonomy, the transformation of relationships between humans and smart machines, and risks from autonomous machines. This research project, carried out by a multidisciplinary team consisting of legal, moral, and political philosophers as well as computer scientists and engineers, seeks to uncover or foresee ethical challenges raised in the contexts of AI development and use. The team then analyzes these challenges from the perspectives of individual and AI autonomy and of human-machine relationship, utilizing recent findings made by overseas theorists in AI ethics. Finally, it proposes the code of conduct for AI developers to actualize the principle of responsible research and development in the context of Japanese society.
