Standard for Ethically Driven Nudging for Robotic, Intelligent and Autonomous Systems

Scope

“Nudges” as exhibited by robotic, intelligent or autonomous systems are defined as overt or hidden suggestions or manipulations designed to influence the behavior or emotions of a user. This standard establishes a delineation of typical nudges (currently in use or that could be created). It contains concepts, functions and benefits necessary to establish and ensure ethically driven methodologies for the design of the robotic, intelligent and autonomous systems that incorporate them. ©IEEE 2022.

Purpose

The Standard for Ethically Driven Nudging for Robotic, Intelligent and Autonomous Systems establishes a set of definition of functions and their relationships with benefits depending on cultural aspects of users (well-being, health, …) that enables the development of Robotics, Intelligent and Autonomous Systems in accordance with worldwide Ethics and Moral theories, with a particular emphasis on aligning the ethics and engineering communities to understand how to pragmatically design and implement these systems in unison. This standard along with definitions allows for precise communication among global experts of different domains that includes Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems, and Ethics. ©IEEE 2022.
