Faultless responsibility: on the nature and allocation of moral responsibility for distributed moral actions.
in Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences
| Description | IoT provides huge opportunities to improve private and public life while promoting business innovation and economic growth. However, the extensive use of increasingly more data (Big Data), the growing reliance on algorithms in automatic communication and processing (including machine learning), as well as the gradual reduction of human oversight over many decisions pose pressing ethical issues of privacy, trust, transparency, and responsibility. If these issues are overlooked, underestimated or left unresolved, they risk hindering the innovation and the progress that IoT can bring to society at large and to future generations. For this reason, it is crucial to identify and analyse the most pressing ethical challenges posed by the dissemination of IoT devices. And this is the focus of the project developed by the PETRAS Team at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. The following are the most significant achievements for the first year of the project: • L. Floridi & M. Taddeo. "What is Data Ethics?", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 374: 20160113 • L. Floridi. "Faultless responsibility: on the nature and allocation of moral responsibility for distributed moral actions", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 374: 20160112 • M. Taddeo. "Data Philanthropy and The Design of the Infraethics for Information Societies", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 374: 20160113 • B. Mittelstadt, P. Allo, M. Taddeo, & L. Floridi. "The ethics of algorithms: Mapping the debate, Big Data & Society, 2016, 3:2. Health-related Internet of Things (H-IoT) is proving a valid support to deliver care for elderly users and patients with long-term. However, the design of these devices, Big Data, and the growing reliance on ICTs devices for communication and monitoring purposes pose pressing ethical problems concerning users' autonomy and privacy, as well as transparency and trust. An entire sub-project was, thus, devoted to address specifically these problems. It led to compiling an interdisciplinary meta-analysis of the existing ethical problems concerning H-IoT scoping over 110 articles. The article is entitled Ethics of the Health-Related Internet of Things: Mapping the Debate https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2932221 (under review). |
| Exploitation Route | Scholarly findings are already being widely endorsed by scholars working on similar topics both at national and international level. At the same time, the findings are also attracting the interest of policy-makers and practitioners involved in the definition of regulations for the use of IoT technologies and in the design of the devices. Output shave been used, and papers cited, in reports with national influence, such as the Internet of Things report from Royal Academy of Engineering. |

| Description | If left unaddressed the ethical problems posed by IoT technologies will lead to double bottleneck: ethical mistakes or misunderstandings may lead to social rejection and/or distorted legislation and policies, which in turn may cripple the acceptance and advancement of data science. So this project has, by default, the potential to inform the public debate and the policy debate on IoT as well as shaping practitioners' approach to the design and deployment of IoT devices. In the first year of the project, several findings were identified with the support of non-academic research users who participate in focus groups and who were keen in embracing the project results, once finalised, to improve their work on IoT. The articles, talks, and commentary for several media outlets given by the research team are contributing to inform the public debate on the key ethical problems posed by the dissemination of IoT technologies. At the same time, the research team is finalising the definition of ethical guidelines for the design and deployment of ethically-sound H-IoT. The guidelines have been defined using a multi-stakeholder approach and involving users' representatives, practitioners, policy-makers, and lawyers in the discussion leading to the drafting of the document. Given the feedback that we received, we believe that the proposed guidelines are likely to impact a wide range of practitioners' involved in the design and regulation of H-IoT. |

| Description | Case study with Cisco USA |
| Organisation | CISCO Systems |
| Country | United States |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Conducted case study interviews and workshops with 4 major IoT cyber risk centres in Cisco USA. The case study research reported here had two objectives. The first objective was to present an up-to-date overview of existing and emerging IoT advancements in the field of Industry 4.0 (I4.0). Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. Including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. The second objective was to capture the best practices regarding cyber security in industry, and to provoke a debate among practitioners and academics by offering a new theoretical model for assessing the cyber risk from IoT and I4.0. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Cisco provided expertise, intellectual input, including access to data, equipment and facilities in the Cisco data centre in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. We reported the results of a qualitative case study with Cisco that correlates academic literature with five I4.0 cyber trends, seven cyber risk frameworks and two cyber risk models. We applied the grounded theory approach. |

| Results and Impact | The meeting focused on key problems posed by the development of Machine Learning. Machine Learning promise radical change in sectors such as medicine, education, elderly care, transport and manufacturing. Like previous revolutions-printing, electricity, the combustion engine, transistors, computers and the internet-AI and Machine Learning will augment and disrupt the world of work. They will turbocharge some jobs and replace others. They will also create new industries that call for workers with skills that do not yet exist. Policymakers must start thinking now about how to realise the potential for AI and Machine Learning to increase economic productivity and to improve the lives of millions-especially people in the developing world. What should they do to encourage the adoption of these technologies? And can they legitimately do so without also responding to their potential negative impact? The downside for some-who may lose their livelihood. And the dark side-that AI and Machine Learning could enable discrimination or economic exclusion? |

| Results and Impact | 5th February 2018 - Dr Alisdair Ritchie, PETRAS Impact Champion, organised a workshop at the University of Bristol led by Professor Awais Rashid. This workshop was designed to develop and evolved what a CNI demonstrator for PETRAS could look like.

They are organising a series of meetings over the next two years with a view to canvassing a wide range of perspectives and requirements for a comprehensive code of ethical best practice.
