Abstract

A growing range of applications use AI and other autonomous agents to perform tasks that raise social, legal, ethical, empathetic, and cultural (SLEEC) concerns. To support a framework for the consideration of these concerns, we introduce SLEEC-TK, a toolkit for specification, validation, and verification of SLEEC requirements. SLEEC-TK is an Eclipse-based environment for defining SLEEC rules in a domain-specific language with a timed process algebraic semantics. SLEEC-TK uses model checking to identify redundant and conflicting rules, and to verify conformance of design models with SLEEC rules. We illustrate the use of SLEEC-TK for an assistive-care robot.

自主代理的社会、法律、伦理、移情和文化要求的规范、验证和核查工具包

越来越多的应用使用人工智能和其他自主代理来执行任务，这些任务会引发社会、法律、伦理、移情和文化（SLEEC）方面的问题。为了支持考虑这些问题的框架，我们引入了 SLEEC-TK，这是一个用于规范、验证和核实 SLEEC 需求的工具包。SLEEC-TK 是一个基于 Eclipse 的环境，可用于在具有定时过程代数语义的特定领域语言中定义 SLEEC 规则。SLEEC-TK 使用模型检查来识别冗余和冲突规则，并验证设计模型与 SLEEC 规则的一致性。我们举例说明了 SLEEC-TK 在辅助护理机器人中的应用。

期刊介绍： Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design. The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice. The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including • Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software; • Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages; • Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation; • Management of the development process; • Human factors in software, software for social interaction, software for social computing; • Cyber physical systems, and software for the interaction between the physical and the machine; • Software aspects of infrastructure services, system administration, and network management.
