This article appears as chapter 21 of Prince (2023, Understanding Deep Learning); a complete draft of the textbook is available here: http://udlbook. com.

Ethics Philosophy

The Linguistic Blind Spot of Value-Aligned Agency, Natural and Artificial

no code implementations2 Jul 2022 Travis LaCroix

I discuss the consequences that the truth of this claim would have for research programmes that attempt to ensure value alignment for AI systems; or, more loftily, designing robustly beneficial or ethical artificial agents.

Metaethical Perspectives on 'Benchmarking' AI Ethics

no code implementations11 Apr 2022 Travis LaCroix, Alexandra Sasha Luccioni

In this paper, drawing upon research in moral philosophy and metaethics, we argue that it is impossible to develop such a benchmark.

Benchmarking Ethics +2

Moral Dilemmas for Moral Machines

no code implementations11 Mar 2022 Travis LaCroix

Autonomous systems are being developed and deployed in situations that may require some degree of ethical decision-making ability.

Est-ce que vous compute? Code-switching, cultural identity, and AI

no code implementations15 Dec 2021 Arianna Falbo, Travis LaCroix

Cultural code-switching concerns how we adjust our overall behaviours, manners of speaking, and appearance in response to a perceived change in our social environment.

Emergent Communication under Competition

1 code implementation25 Jan 2021 Michael Noukhovitch, Travis LaCroix, Angeliki Lazaridou, Aaron Courville

First, we show that communication is proportional to cooperation, and it can occur for partially competitive scenarios using standard learning algorithms.

Misconceptions

The Tragedy of the AI Commons

no code implementations9 Jun 2020 Travis LaCroix, Aydin Mohseni

These are supposed to guide the socially-responsible development of AI for the common good.

Ethics

Learning from Learning Machines: Optimisation, Rules, and Social Norms

no code implementations29 Dec 2019 Travis LaCroix, Yoshua Bengio

There is an analogy between machine learning systems and economic entities in that they are both adaptive, and their behaviour is specified in a more-or-less explicit way.

Decision Making Open-Ended Question Answering

Biology and Compositionality: Empirical Considerations for Emergent-Communication Protocols

no code implementations26 Nov 2019 Travis LaCroix

This has theoretical implications for language origins research more generally, but the focus here will be the implications for research on emergent communication in computer science and machine learning---specifically regarding the types of programmes that might be expected to work and those which will not.

BIG-bench Machine Learning

Selfish Emergent Communication

no code implementations25 Sep 2019 Michael Noukhovitch, Travis LaCroix, Aaron Courville

Current literature in machine learning holds that unaligned, self-interested agents do not learn to use an emergent communication channel.
