\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nThe aim of the Ethical Guidelines is as follows.
\nThe Ethics Committee\u2019s mission is: to understand and reflect the various voices in society regarding the positive and negative impacts of artificial intelligence technology, to learn from the public in earnest, and to engage in a continuous dialogue with the public. The aim of these Ethical Guidelines is to first establish a preliminary policy that promotes a fruitful dialogue between the JSAI and the society. By expressing what is obvious, that the JSAI conducts research activities for the benefit of society, we hope that the society recognizes our work so that it forms the foundation of this anticipated dialogue with the public.
\nTo achieve this goal, the Ethical Guidelines provides common practice professional ethical guidance to researchers. In the open discussion of the Annual Meeting of the JSAI last year, one of the panelists, Professor Shun Tutiya, said that: \u201cthe general public is concerned about what artificial intelligence researchers would do with the technology. Therefore, it is important to first make known that researchers are aiming to create a better society, and that they are not mad scientists. So, I would like to praise the JSAI for issuing such Ethical Guidelines.\u201d This accurately described the intentions behind our work within the Ethics Committee.
\nAdditionally, the Ethical Guidelines are not intended to come into practice immediately. For example, there is no pressing plan to proceed with the creation of a system to check whether a submitted manuscript aligns with the proposed Ethical Guidelines, or whether a specific artificial intelligence research conforms to these guidelines. By issuing the Ethical Guidelines, we hope to reach a consensus and promote deeper discussions of these ethical guidelines in the research and development of artificially intelligent technologies, with the general public and among the JSAI members. If the majority of the public and the JSAI members wish to see some sort of a practical process put in place, the Ethics Committee intends to further review and iterate these Ethical Guidelines through extensive dialogue.
\nWhat is unique about the JSAI\u2019s Ethical Guidelines is Article 9, which reflects the characteristics of the JSAI. This emphasizes the reflexive nature of the Guidelines, meaning that they apply to artifacts made in accordance with these Guidelines, much like in the case of Asimov\u2019s Three Laws of Robotics. The Ethics Committee considers various possibilities with regards to how artificial intelligence will be employed in society in the future. However, in a society like Japan where cartoons such as Astro Boy<\/em> and Doraemon<\/em> have enabled artificial intelligence researchers to dream big, many can easily imagine artificial intelligence being recognized as integral \u201cmembers\u201d of society. As such, we believe that the tenet of the Ethical Guidelines – artificial intelligence for the benefit of society – would likely resonate with the public. In the EU, there are discussions on whether and how we should give robots a legal personhood. Article 9 therefore prompts various questions such as \u201cWhat is the meaning of being a member of society?\u201d \u201cWhat does it mean for artificial intelligence to comply with the Ethical Guidelines?\u201d We believe that such questions will lead to a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence technology as a whole, and to a deeper discussion on the ideal form of artificial intelligence in society. Article 9 is intended to create such a discussion.
\nFinally, we would like to reiterate that these Ethical Guidelines reflect the common sentiments of the JSAI community in its hope to deepen the dialogue between researchers and society, and to formulate a discussion that would lead to effective use of artificial intelligence technology in society. The Ethics Committee will continue its work with the hope that the Ethical Guidelines would open up the conversations among people from all walks of life.
\nIn order to continue the dialogues with the JSAI members and the society as a whole, we welcome additional feedback on the Ethical Guidelines. This document will be discussed again in further details at the Ethics Committee Open Discussion Meeting in the May 2017 Annual JSAI Meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ethics Committee, the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) The Chair, Yutaka Matsuo Februar …","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ai-gakkai.or.jp\/ai-elsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
