TL;DR
This paper introduces a 5E framework for contesting Artificial Moral Agents, addressing the need for mechanisms to challenge and evaluate the morality of AI systems with inherent moral reasoning.
Contribution
It proposes a comprehensive 5E framework and timeline for contesting AMAs, enhancing ethical oversight and value alignment in moral AI development.
Findings
The 5E framework covers ethical, epistemological, explainable, empirical, and evaluative grounds.
Includes a multi-level ethical influence model from individual to global.
Provides a provisional timeline for contestation points in AMA development.
Abstract
There has been much discourse on the ethics of AI, to the extent that there are now systems that possess inherent moral reasoning. Such machines are now formally known as Artificial Moral Agents or AMAs. However, there is a requirement for a dedicated framework that can contest the morality of these systems. This paper proposes a 5E framework for contesting AMAs based on five grounds: ethical, epistemological, explainable, empirical, and evaluative. It further includes the spheres of ethical influences at individual, local, societal, and global levels. Lastly, the framework contributes a provisional timeline that indicates where developers of AMA technologies may anticipate contestation, or may self-contest in order to adhere to value-aligned development of truly moral AI systems.
