A growing range of applications use autonomous agents such as AI and robotic systems to perform tasks deemed dangerous, tedious or costly for humans. To truly succeed with these tasks, the autonomous agents must perform them without violating the social, legal, ethical, empathetic, and cultural (SLEEC) norms of their users and operators. We introduce SLEECVAL, a tool for specification and validation of rules that reflect these SLEEC norms. Our tool supports the specification of SLEEC rules in a DSL [1] we co-defined with the help of ethicists, lawyers and stakeholders from health and social care, and uses the CSP refinement checker FDR4 to identify redundant and conflicting rules in a SLEEC specification. We illustrate the use of SLEECVAL for two case studies: an assistive dressing robot, and a firefighting drone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
