Summary:

Choices and preferences of individuals are nowadays increasingly infuenced by countless inputs and recommendations provided by artifcial intelligence-based systems. The accuracy of recommender systems (RS) has achieved remarkable results in several domains, from infotainment to marketing and lifestyle. However, in sensitive use-cases, such as nutrition, there is a need for more complex dynamics and responsibilities beyond conventional RS frameworks. On one hand, virtual coaching systems (VCS) are intended to support and educate the users about food, integrating additional dimensions w.r.t. the conventional RS (i.e., leveraging persuasion techniques, argumentation, informative systems, and recommendation paradigms) and show promising results. On the other hand, as of today, VCS raise unexplored ethical and legal concerns. This paper discusses the need for a clear understanding of the ethical/legal-technological entanglements, formalizing 21 ethical and ten legal challenges and the related mitigation strategies. Moreover, it elaborates on nutrition sustainability as a further nutrition virtual coaches dimension for a better society.

"Safe and well-informed” :
Scientific paper ArODES
a study of the new governance of bio-citizens’ judgment on Twitter and Facebook

Philosophical news,  2021, no. 22, pp. 65-84

Link to the publication

Summary:

What are the consequences of the pandemic on citizenship in liberal democracies? While many academic discussions on this topic focus on the proportionality of the state of emergency and its respect for fundamental political rights, this article analyses another consequence of the pandemic on what the literature has called in recent years digital and informational “bio-citizenship”. Since WHO designated “infodemia” as a major public health issue, many online platforms have changed their moderation paradigm of health misinformation. As our review of Twitter and Facebook policies in the first two parts of this study shows, platforms no longer hesitate to treat health misinformation as potential harm to both the quality of online information and their users’ health. In the third and last part, we tackle the normative problems that the “somatisation of the bio-citizen” raises. Is it the case, as both platforms argue, that all content that could lead to risky behaviour must be removed? Does their libertarian philosophy require this type of suppression? Should we think with Zuckerberg that misinformation in health is more easily regulated thanks to recognised experts who can provide evidence-based answers? We argue that the platforms’ definition of harm creates confusion between error, danger, and rejection of health recommendations, which undermines their claim to guarantee freedom of expression.

The role of public trust and media in managing the dissemination of COVID-19-related news in Switzerland
Scientific paper ArODES

Summary:

Public trust in health information is essential to ensure that preventative strategies to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 are accepted and followed. This study explored the way Swiss people accessed and consumed news and information about the coronavirus from different channels, and the role media plays in public trust during the pandemic. Based on a study of 442 randomly assigned participants in French-speaking regions, we examined the following four questions: (1) What are the news sources and platforms and how are they used? (2) How does the public rate the trustworthiness of these sources and platforms? (3) To what extent does the public perceive that these sources and platforms are provided inaccurate information? (4) What roles do these sources and platforms play in the pandemic? Implications are discussed in the conclusion based on our findings.

The good, the bad, and the ethical implications of bridging blockchain and multi-agent systems
Scientific paper ArODES

Information,  2019, vol. 10, no. 12, article 363

Summary:

The agent based approach is a well established methodology to model distributed intelligent systems. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are increasingly employed in applications dealing with safety and information critical tasks (e.g., in eHealth, financial, and energy domains). Therefore, transparency and the trustworthiness of the agents and their behaviors must be enforced. For example, employing reputation based mechanisms can promote the development of trust. Nevertheless, besides recent early stage studies, the existing methods and systems are still unable to guarantee the desired accountability and transparency adequately. In line with the recent trends, we advocate that combining blockchain technology (BCT) and MAS can achieve the distribution of the trust, removing the need for trusted third parties (TTP), potential single points of failure. This paper elaborates on the notions of trust, BCT, MAS, and their integration. Furthermore, to attain a trusted environment, this manuscript details the design and implementation of a system reconciling MAS (based on the Java Agent DEvelopment Framework (JADE)) and BTC (based on Hyperledger Fabric). In particular, the agents’ interactions, computation, tracking the reputation, and possible policies for disagreement-management are implemented via smart contracts and stored on an immutable distributed ledger. The results obtained by the presented system and similar solutions are also discussed. Finally, ethical implications (i.e., opportunities and challenges) are elaborated before concluding the paper.

Summary:

Streaming media platforms constitute a significant source of information and entertainment for different population segments. Although major corporations have taken the lead in market share, public media companies have also started to produce and broadcast films, series, and documentaries centered on locally-created content. Moreover, beyond the purely commercial goals of major corporations, these public streaming platforms have the mission of expanding the cultural landscape of the viewers, for instance, through the exploration of content produced in other regions and other languages, especially in multicultural societies such as Switzerland. In such a context, this paper proposes a novel approach for personalized recommendations of streaming media content, focusing on serendipity and multicultural diversity, while minimizing the need for personal data sharing. The approach is based on the feature extraction from user media consumption and a combination of data-driven recommendation algorithms. The approach has been tested with real data from the public PlaySuisse streaming platform.

Ethical concerns and opportunities in binding intelligent systems and blockchain technology

Summary:

Intelligent systems are becoming increasingly complex and pervade a broad range of application domains, including safety-critical systems such as e-health, finance, and energy management. Traditional approaches are no longer capable of addressing the demand for trust and transparency in these applications. Hence, the current decade is demanding intelligent systems to be autonomous, and in particular explainable, transparent, and trustworthy. To satisfy such requirements, and therefore to comply with the recent EU regulations in the matter (e.g., GDPR), intelligent systems (e.g., Multi-Agent Systems - MAS) and technologies enabling tamper-proof and distributed consensus (e.g., Blockchain Technology - BCT) are conveying into reconciling solutions. Recently, the empowerment of MAS with BCT (and the use of BCT themselves) has gained considerable momentum, raising challenges, and unveiling opportunities. However, several ethical concerns have yet to be faced. This paper elaborates on the entanglement among ethical and technological challenges while proposing and discussing approaches that address these emerging research opportunities.
