Computer-aided ethics (Glossary)

Artificial intelligence Digital society Automation Digital transformation AI Glossary

Computational ethics is a term used in the fields of artificial intelligence, digital society and automation. It describes the use of computers and algorithms to make ethical decisions or to assist in such decisions.

In our digital world, machines are increasingly taking over tasks that used to be the responsibility of humans. For example, intelligent robots in the care sector are deciding how best to respond to patients' needs. Computer-aided ethics helps to give machines a kind of moral compass. This means that computer programmes are given rules and values that they should adhere to, just like humans do.

An illustrative example: a self-driving car is faced with the choice of either protecting the driver in the event of an accident or swerving out of the way and potentially endangering a passer-by. The decision as to what the car should do is then based on predetermined, computerised ethical principles.

Computational ethics is therefore important to strengthen trust in digital technologies and promote ethically correct solutions in the automated world.
