Abstract
Discussions on artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics/society are carried out within and between various academic, government, and NPO institutions in Japan and overseas since around 2015. Under such circumstances, the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems published the first and the second version of the IEEE Ethically Aligned Design (EAD), focusing on the issues such as embedding ethical design into technologies and considering AI governance. We categorized 13 chapters of the EAD report into 6 (risk, emotion, society, law, foundations, and ethics and principles) and organized a workshop series to understand the content of EADv2 and create a network among AI/IT researchers, social science and humanities researchers, industries, policy makers and other stakeholders. Each workshop invited guests who could provide related issues to each chapter to promote discussion. This article outlines the points raised in the workshop and by doing so, we would like to consider the viewpoints that contribute to the IEEE global initiatives by offering the unique perspectives from Japan.
