Professional responsibility

The concept of professional responsibility is a component of ethics relevant in particular to how ethics relates to practical training. A sense of personal morality or the obligations one has to other roles can be distinguished from the responsibility someone has as a member of their profession. In this context we will focus on what the profession demands, independently from the degree to which all responsibilities may or may not be judged to align. This will allow a clearer view of exactly what it is that demanded by the workplace as opposed to other elements of one’s life.

Acts and Responsibility of AI

This lecture considers the relevance of the cognitive sciences for law when it comes to acts and responsibility (or liability) of artificially intelligent agents. It addresses whether we (1) can, and (2) should hold AI liable. The lecture is part of project RECOGNISE. RECOGNISE aims at developing an interdisciplinary training curriculum on legal reasoning and cognitive science, filling a gap in legal higher education. It is a strategic partnership of six European universities for higher education sponsored by the ERASMUS+ Programme. The project will provide the interested learners (legal researchers, law students, legal practitioners, and beyond) with introductory and advanced materials on topics including heuristics and biases in adjudication, cognitive structure of legal concepts, and defeasible reasoning in law. Materials will be provided in the form of an online handbook, video lectures, summer schools, and other online and on-campus activities.

This exercise explores the complexity of risk-taking and ethical choices by looking at the dangers involved in a resource humans rely on heavily and asking what level of danger is acceptable for our everyday conveniences to remain available. The focus of this exercise is on “the problem of many hands” and how we can take responsibility for choices that are often made by ambiguous consensus.
