Overview

We aim to consolidate and expand the field of formal methods for machine ethics within the UK. Machine ethics requires that properties and requirements typically reserved for humans and human societies be extended to machines and autonomous systems. This tutorial seeks to provide a clear understanding of these properties, while also fostering an international network of collaborators from the humanities and social sciences who can contribute to the formalisation of machine ethics.

This year's FEAR workshop will include a tutorial on machine ethics, targeting postgraduate students not only from the University of Manchester but also from across the UK. The tutorial will be organized as a hybrid event to ensure broad accessibility. It will offer training in the fundamental methods and key issues of machine ethics, including formal methods and formal ethics.
