14–14:45 INVITED TALK. TERESA SCANTAMBURLO: Moral Exercises for Responsible AI.
Chair: Francesca Alessandra Lisi

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) scholars and practitioners have developed a vast range of tools and methodologies to address the ethical challenges raised by critical AI applications. Nevertheless, the mere availability of ethical toolkits is not sufficient to ensure responsible AI practices. In this presentation, I will introduce the idea of moral exercises to stimulate and guide meaningful conversations around choices and actions interrogating the AI actors along the whole AI-life cycle. Built upon classical and modern moral theories, moral exercises are structured activities that can offer guidance in moral reflection and judgment in AI-related tasks. In line with other approaches, such as value sensitive design, they suggest the need to rediscover the dimensions of personal commitment and intersubjectivity in responsible design practices, highlighting the value of community and dialogue. To explore the practical implications of moral exercises, I will consider critical choices in the field of algorithmic fairness and bias.
