摘      要：Humans are experiencing the inclusion of artificial agents in their lives,such as unmanned vehicles,service robots,voice assistants,and intelligent medical *** the artificial agents cannot align with social values or make ethical decisions,they may not meet the expectations of ***,an ethical decision-making framework is constructed by rule-based or statistical *** this paper,we propose an ethical decision-making framework based on incremental ILP(Inductive Logic Programming),which can overcome the brittleness of rule-based approaches and little interpretability of statistical *** the current incremental ILP makes it difficult to solve conflicts,we propose a novel ethical decision-making framework considering conflicts in this paper,which adopts our proposed incremental ILP *** framework consists of two processes:the learning process and the deduction *** first process records bottom clauses with their score functions and learns rules guided by the entailment and the score *** second process obtains an ethical decision based on the *** an ethical scenario about chatbots for teenagers’mental health,we verify that our framework can learn ethical rules and make ethical ***,we extract incremental ILP from the framework and compare it with the state-of-the-art ILP systems based on ASP(Answer Set Programming)focusing on conflict *** results of comparisons show that our proposed system can generate better-quality rules than most other systems.
