Ethical Considerations in AI Coordination: Impacts on Human Interaction and Autonomy
This paper explores the complex interplay of technology and human relations, emphasizing how symbiotic systems alter our cognitive and emotional capacities. It delves into the ethical implications of coordinated autonomy in multi-agent systems and the challenges of communication and social intelligence when integrating AI into daily life. Key topics include the design for human-centered performance, the awareness of information flow, and the moral responsibilities of designers. The work underlines the importance of safeguarding our social skills and highlights the role of interdisciplinary approaches in navigating these changes.

Disciplinary backgrounds • Psychology • Communication • Philosophy • Cognitive Science • AI
Coordination and social intelligence • Symbiotic systems - how technology alters our interactions and our capacities for intersubjective co-construction. (e.g. impacts on human cognition and affect.) • Coordinated autonomy • Entrainment - our capacity to shift from response to anticipation • Designing for human-centred performance • Ethical - a)may not be freely able to express myself as I would be able to otherwise - interferes with natural performance, b) deskilling of human social intelligence
Design • Impact of ICT on ordinary people • Scaleability and interoperability of mulit-device coordination e.g. mobile devices (phones, PDAs, laptops) • Ethical issues - where does the awareness lie of location and flow of information? Security of information? • Design: • Awareness and responsibilities of designers • Embedded values • Decisions, judgements, priorities • Multi-agent systems - decisional responsibilities (what are going to do with this practically?)
Autonomy • Agency • Coordinated autonomy and impacts of symbiotic systems • Moral responsibility • Transhuman identity
Related Domains • Neural nets: • Self-learning systems - and predictability • Autism • Music and science • Medical informatics and ethics
