SUMMARY:Rise of the Moral Machines
DESCRIPTION:\nProf. Nigel Crook\nAssociate Dean: Research and Knowledge Exc
 hange Founder and Co-Director of the Institute for Ethical Artificial\nCan
  machines be programmed to know the difference between right and wrong? Ca
 n they be equipped with a ’moral compass’ to guide their behaviour? Mo
 re specifically\, can machines be moral agents? In this talk I will attemp
 t to address these as I explore the work that is being done in the emergin
 g field of 'moral machines'.\nProf. Nigel Crook\nMy research interests inc
 lude Ethical Artificial Intelligence\, autonomous moral machines\, biologi
 cally inspired machine learning\, embodied conversational agents and socia
 l robotics. In my most recent research I have been exploring how it might 
 be possible to equip robots with a degree of moral competence. This would 
 enable robots to recognise the moral consequences of their actions and be 
 able to predict what kinds of behaviours are acceptable in a given situati
 on. I am also working on other aspects of ethical AI\, including developin
 g systems that can explain the decision of trained machine learning models
  and automatic personality typing. I am founder of the Ethical AI institut
 e at Oxford Brookes University (formal launch summer 2019). My work on rob
 otics has attracted some media attention\, including 16 appearances on reg
 ional\, national and international television channels.\n\nAs ADRKE I lead
  and manage the implementation of the University Research and Knowledge Ex
 change strategy throughout the Faculty of Technology\, Design and Environm
 ent. I develop and implement research and knowledge exchange initiatives\,
  policies and systems which are designed to increase research capacity\, t
 he percentage of research judged externally as ‘world leading’\, the i
 nteractions of research and knowledge exchange activities\, and the exploi
 tation and dissemination of our research for the benefits for our communit
 ies.
