    Brake or Drive: On the Relation Between Morality and Traffic Rules when Driving Autonomously
    (Software Engineering 2023 Workshops, 2023) Rakow, Astrid; Schwammberger, Maike
    For a safe and successful future with autonomous traffic agents (ATAs), these ATAs need to be enabled to understand and abide by traffic rules. However, purely formalising and analysing traffic rules is not enough to solve this task. In this paper, we discuss the role of moral for ATAs that follow traffic rules. In particular, moral values may enable an ATA to prioritise traffic rules, in case of conflicts. We outline an approach that uses formal verification to identify situations where traffic rules are in conflict with each other, with moral values or with specific goals of an ATA. We sketch how moral values and reasoning can help an ATA to resolve such conflicts autonomously.

    Compatibility of Support and Autonomy in Personalized HCI
    (2020) Fietkau, Julian; Balthasar, Mandy
    Developers and designers of interactive digital systems are faced with many chal-lenges, some less visible than others. One of these more subtle balancing acts is be-tween personalized user support and unrestricted user autonomy. It raises the ques-tion how a supportive design that takes a user’s needs and preferences into account can be implemented within a technical system while at the same time allowing the user to make decisions freely without restrictions. How can autonomy by design be incorporated into the process? In this paper we describe the breadth of choice heu-ristic, which can show where the support of the user by the system stops and a re-striction of the user’s autonomy begins. To this end, we reference existing literature on similar issues, develop our own conclusions and apply them to our work in a pro-ject on IT for elderly people.

    Critical reflection of AI applications for persons with disabilities in vocational rehabilitation
    (Proceedings of DELFI Workshops 2020, 2020) Beudt, Susan; Blanc, Berit; Feichtenbeiner, Rolf; Kähler, Marco
    Applications of artificial intelligence are increasingly being used to support work and learning in the workplace. Adaptivity and recommender systems, as key features of such innovative technologies, allow for enhanced personalization. Most notably, persons with disabilities may benefit from such technologies at work and during on-the-job training. Adapting such systems to very heterogeneous target groups, however, is not easily done. Implementing AI-based assistive systems in various educational settings in vocational training, especially in vocational rehabilitation, can also be challenging. This position paper looks at existing AI-based applications to analyze their potential for more inclusive workplaces and qualification processes. Furthermore, those technologies are discussed in the context of current ethical discourses to identify to what extent normative requirements are being reflected in existing AI-based applications.

    ELSI Product Owner: Integration of Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects in Agile Development Processes
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Tagungsband, 2023) van Ledden, Sebastian; Dogangün, Aysegül; Hermann, Julia
    Integrating ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) into agile processes is crucial for human-centered design. However, the integration of ELSI within an agile work environment remains a challenge. To address this issue, we propose a new role, the ELSI Product Owner (ELSI-PO), within the Scrum process. The ELSI-PO serves as a mediator and communicator, responsible for negotiating ELSI aspects with stakeholders and ensuring their operationalization throughout the development process. In this paper, we present the steps taken to develop the ELSI-PO concept, we discuss the organizational positioning of the ELSI-PO in Scrum environments and we outline the tasks of the ELSI-PO in different Scrum phases. Our work-in-progress concept offers a solution to meet the growing demands for ELSI as a fixed building block in the agile framework.

    Moral Behavior of Automated Vehicles: The Impact on Product Perception
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Workshopband, 2018) Frison, Anna Katharina; Wintersberger, Philipp; Riener, Andreas; Schartmüller, Clemens
    With further development of automation, more responsibilities will be transferred from users to technology. Consequently, algorithms of highly automated vehicles should be programmed to behave similarly to the affect- and intuition-based reasoning of human drivers. This includes making decisions in various exceptional circumstances, such as moral dilemmas. We assume that the perceived quality of a holistic driving experience is dependent on the accordance of vehicles’ moral and ethical decisions with users’ expectations concerning values and attitudes. In this work, we discuss implementation strategies for moral behavior in automated driving systems in order to fulfill users’ needs and match their values. The reported findings are based on data from an online survey (n=330). We investigated how subjects assess moral decisions and the overall product experience. Initial results show tendencies among subjects in accepting a decision over life and death and significant dependencies concerning the overall product perception.

    User-centered Design Methods in Data-Intensive Software Development Processes: A State-of-the-Art Review
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Riebel, Jasmin A.
    As intelligent products and services become our new normal, discussions about user needs gain traction. This paper explores the state-of-the-art literature on the intersection of design methodologies and data-intensive software development. Considering 16 papers out of 182 from 2017-2023, the extent to which user-centered approaches have already found their way into data- intensive software development processes was examined. Here, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Human-Centered Explainable Artificial Intelligence (HCXAI), and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) were identified. Second, existing frameworks and case studies that combine Design Thinking (DT) and AI development were examined. Although DT has been found to be valuable in software development due to its focus on empathy, problem definition, and interdisciplinarity, this paper argues that user-centeredness still falls short and should be considered more consequently, especially in the early stages of development where empathy for the user, the understanding of the problem, and concrete ideas are formed.
