In order to determine whether or not to follow a particular command, a RaD-AI agent must be able to assess what is the core objective of the human it serves and align its values accordingly.  For this purpose, knowing the human's current plan is highly relevant, thus making methods from the plan recognition and goal reasoning communities potentially useful. We accept submissions directly addressing RaD-AI, as well as other topics relevant to the development of RaD-AI, including but not limited to 

Dishonest Morphologies

Abusing RaD robots for malicious purposes

Dilemmas of Disobedient Robots

Boundaries of Robotic Rebellion and Disobedience

Human-Robot Trust

Interruptions

Deception

Command Rejection

Explainability

Liability

Physical Mediations
