Towards Value-Aware AI

Get in Touch

Value-Aware Artificial Intelligence

Values guide, justify, and explain behaviour. Ensuring AI systems are aligned with human values has been raised as a core problem for AI.
By putting moral considerations at the core of the AI system itself, we contribute to making AI more trustworthy.

Objectives

VALAWAI aims at developing value-aware AI systems; that is, AI systems that are able to understand and abide by a value system and explain its own behaviour or understand the behaviour of others in terms of a value system.

<b>NEUROSCIENCE</b><br /> Develop quantitative measures of levels of awareness based on neuroscience.

Societal Impact

VALAWAI will apply Value-Aware AI to three challenging application domains in domains very much need a moral dimension and adding value-awareness would therefore offer a clear and strong added value for their users.

Given their societal impact, these application domains have a high potential for innovation.

<b>SOCIAL MEDIA</b><br /> Protect individual users and our society from malicious media content.
