Our Ethics for AI Working group was born out of a meeting held by the Internet of Food Things Network just before the pandemic to consider research challenges for developing a data trust system for the food sector. Our group came together through a shared interest in Ethics, and formed a working group to consider the ethical dimensions of digital collaboration in the food sector, such as the unintended consequence of AI. We have run several workshops and produced several papers as part of this work (1 published, 2 submitted awaiting review, 3 in progress). We used two key methodologies to explore these ethical issues: Design Fiction and the Moral IT Cards. Whilst our focus was on the food industry, we found these methods extremely useful in terms of considering different ethical aspects of technology and as such we believe they would be of great use to the wider scientific community. Our talk will introduce the working group and our activities, and explain how our methodologies can be put into practice for any Ethical Project.
