Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) education has emerged as a way of approaching the field of AI to address a host of concerns (Bentley et al., 2023). Many education providers have been releasing new RAI-related online courses, programmes, or toolkits. When combined with the issues emerging from the development, deployment, and use of AI, the expansion of RAI education and the proliferation of resources raise two critical questions. First, what can we learn about RAI from examining both the content and structure of publicly available RAI educational resources? Second, how might we understand the quality and impact of these RAI resources? We conducted a systematic search of UK RAI educational resources found online. We first present a descriptive analysis of 211 resources collected, including their type, format, cost, sector, audience, and type of provider. Furthermore, we describe our collaborative approach to analysing four pre-selected resources in-depth, from which we outlined an evaluation framework that we then employed for assessing the content of a subset of 47 resources. The five crucial areas of our framework could guide both learners and developers when approaching RAI resources.
负责任的人工智能(RAI)教育已经成为一种接近人工智能领域的方式,以解决一系列问题(Bentley等人,2023)。许多教育机构已经发布了新的与人工智能相关的在线课程、项目或工具包。当结合人工智能的开发、部署和使用所产生的问题时,人工智能教育的扩展和资源的扩散提出了两个关键问题。首先,通过检查可公开获得的RAI教育资源的内容和结构,我们可以了解到关于RAI的什么?其次,我们如何理解这些RAI资源的质量和影响?我们对网上找到的英国教育资源进行了系统的搜索。我们首先对所收集的211种资源进行了描述性分析,包括它们的类型、格式、成本、部门、受众和提供者类型。此外,我们描述了我们深入分析四个预选资源的合作方法,从中我们概述了一个评估框架,然后我们用于评估47个资源子集的内容。我们框架的五个关键领域可以指导学习者和开发人员使用RAI资源。

This reflective case study examines how the responsible use of social media can help raise awareness of electoral participation among immigrants in Norway. Through a structured, four-phase design process, the project combined semi-structured interviews, workshops with political representatives, and design probes as a new method to investigate barriers to participation and to test communication strategies. Findings revealed that the primary challenge was not the lack of information, but rather the ineffective distribution and visibility of existing resources. The project highlights the role of researchers and designers as facilitators of access, emphasising that responsible social media use requires careful attention to who is reached, how messages are interpreted, and what barriers remain. It also emphasises the need for participatory, community-driven approaches and the importance of integrating offline channels to reach diverse audiences. The reflections of the case study offer deeper insights into the ethical and strategic responsibilities of social media design that can be transferable to other cases in civic communication.
这个反思性案例研究探讨了负责任地使用社交媒体如何有助于提高挪威移民对选举参与的认识。通过结构化的四阶段设计过程,该项目结合了半结构化访谈、与政治代表的研讨会和设计探针,作为调查参与障碍和测试沟通策略的新方法。调查结果显示,主要的挑战不是缺乏资料,而是现有资源的无效分配和可见性。该项目强调了研究人员和设计师作为访问促进者的作用,强调负责任的社交媒体使用需要仔细关注接触到的人,如何解释信息以及仍然存在的障碍。它还强调了参与性、社区驱动方法的必要性,以及整合线下渠道以接触不同受众的重要性。案例研究的反思为社会媒体设计的道德和战略责任提供了更深入的见解,可以转移到公民传播的其他案例中。

Using NLP to analyze authentic learner language helps to build automated assessment and feedback tools. It also offers new and extensive insights into the development of second language production. However, there is a lack of research explicitly combining these aspects. This study aimed to classify Estonian proficiency examination writings (levels A2–C1), assuming that careful feature selection can lead to more explainable and generalizable machine learning models for language testing. Various linguistic properties of the training data were analyzed to identify relevant proficiency predictors associated with increasing complexity and correctness, rather than the writing task. Such lexical, morphological, surface, and error features were used to train classification models, which were compared to models that also allowed for other features. The pre-selected features yielded a similar test accuracy but reduced variation in the classification of different text types. The best classifiers achieved an accuracy of around 0.9. Additional evaluation on an earlier exam sample revealed that the writings have become more complex over a 7–10-year period, while accuracy still reached 0.8 with some feature sets. The results have been implemented in the writing evaluation module of an Estonian open-source language learning environment.
使用NLP分析真实的学习者语言有助于建立自动评估和反馈工具。它还为第二语言生产的发展提供了新的和广泛的见解。然而,目前还缺乏明确结合这些方面的研究。本研究旨在对爱沙尼亚语水平考试写作(A2-C1级)进行分类,假设仔细的特征选择可以为语言测试提供更可解释和可推广的机器学习模型。我们分析了训练数据的各种语言特性,以确定与复杂性和正确性增加相关的熟练程度预测因子,而不是写作任务。这些词汇、形态、表面和错误特征被用来训练分类模型,并将其与考虑其他特征的模型进行比较。预先选择的特征产生了类似的测试准确性,但减少了不同文本类型分类的变化。最好的分类器达到了0.9左右的准确率。对早期考试样本的额外评估显示,在7 - 10年的时间里,写作变得更加复杂,而在某些特性集上,准确率仍然达到0.8。结果已在爱沙尼亚开源语言学习环境的写作评估模块中实施。

This exploratory thematic review examines the emerging landscape of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) education. It reviews 17 peer-reviewed studies published over the past two decades, using the PRISMA methodology. These studies were categorized into four themes to identify recurring successes and obstacles. The review highlights several successful practices, including the contextualization of RRI, promotion of reflexivity, participatory methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, and instances of institutional integration. Simultaneously, it uncovers persistent obstacles such as conceptual ambiguity, institutional resistance, scalability limitations, and the difficulty of translating abstract RRI principles into measurable competencies. The relations between some of these obstacles suggests a vicious reinforcing cycle that hinders progress in RRI education. We argue that resolving conceptual and definitional ambiguities could foster a more coherent and sustainable RRI education.
这个探索性的专题审查审查负责任的研究和创新(RRI)教育的新兴景观。它回顾了过去二十年来发表的17项同行评议研究,这些研究采用了PRISMA方法。这些研究分为四个主题,以确定反复出现的成功和障碍。该综述强调了一些成功的实践,包括RRI的背景化、促进反思性、参与式方法、跨学科合作和机构整合的实例。同时,它揭示了持续存在的障碍,如概念模糊、制度阻力、可扩展性限制,以及将抽象的RRI原则转化为可测量能力的困难。这些障碍之间的关系表明了一种恶性循环,阻碍了RRI教育的进步。我们认为,解决概念和定义上的歧义可以促进更连贯和可持续的RRI教育。

This paper explores how digital technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain archives, and platform-specific memorial systems change the grieving phenomenon. It examines how datafication processes, which transform emotional labour into content that is managed by algorithms, also redefine grief expression and remembrance and bring up ethical issues of commodification, privacy and consent. The discussion points out the historical continuities of mediated grief and how the traditional memorial artefacts were replaced by interactive digital settings and deals with the psychosocial consequences of long-term digital interaction with grieving. The most significant ones are ownership and control of digital legacies, being biased by an algorithm, the nature of representation and visibility, and the political aspects of collective mourning on the Internet. Relying on the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), the work promotes the use of interdisciplinary methods in attaching human-centred design, ethics, sociocultural understanding, and legal changes to prevent the exploitation and inequality of digital afterlife technologies by applying humanistic, ethical, sociocultural and legal values and concerns.
本文探讨了人工智能、区块链档案和特定平台的纪念系统等数字技术如何改变悲伤现象。它研究了数据化过程如何将情绪劳动转化为由算法管理的内容,也重新定义了悲伤的表达和记忆,并提出了商品化、隐私和同意的伦理问题。讨论指出了调解悲伤的历史连续性,以及传统的纪念文物如何被交互式数字设置所取代,并处理了长期数字互动与悲伤的社会心理后果。其中最重要的是数字遗产的所有权和控制权、算法的偏见、代表性和可见性的本质,以及互联网上集体哀悼的政治方面。依靠负责任的研究与创新(RRI)原则,这项工作促进了跨学科方法的使用,通过应用人文、伦理、社会文化和法律价值观和关注点,将以人为本的设计、伦理、社会文化理解和法律变革结合起来,防止数字来世技术的利用和不平等。

Artificial Intelligence (AI) based grief technologies are being offered as solutions to grief: AI griefbots are trained on the departed’s or dying person’s digital footprints to simulate them. Ongoing research questions whether they help or hinder ‘healthy’ grieving, neglecting underlying assumptions about ‘normal’ grieving. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis, this article analyses AI grief technology framings and portrayals in documentaries and six services’ websites (Seance AI; Eternos; You, Only Virtual; HereAfter AI; Project December; re;memory). We demonstrate AI grief technologies’ contribution to renegotiating grief as a technical problem to be solved. The techno-solutions are rooted in existing psychological discourses of ‘normal’ grief and position AI as band-aids or cures for grief and death. Documentaries on AI grief technologies play a significant part in reinforcing boundary-setting between normality and abnormality. Grief shifts from a human experience to something that can and should be made more efficient or avoided altogether through AI.
基于人工智能(AI)的悲伤技术被提供作为悲伤的解决方案:人工智能悲伤机器人通过训练死者或将死之人的数字足迹来模拟他们。正在进行的研究质疑它们是帮助还是阻碍了“健康”的悲伤,忽视了对“正常”悲伤的潜在假设。本文采用多模态批评话语分析,分析了纪录片和六个服务网站(Seance AI、Eternos、You, Only Virtual、HereAfter AI、Project December、re、memory)中AI悲伤技术的框架和描述。我们展示了人工智能悲伤技术对重新协商悲伤作为一个有待解决的技术问题的贡献。技术解决方案根植于现有的“正常”悲伤的心理学话语,并将人工智能定位为悲伤和死亡的创可贴或治疗方法。关于人工智能悲伤技术的纪录片在强化正常与异常之间的界限方面发挥了重要作用。悲伤从一种人类体验转变为可以而且应该通过人工智能变得更有效或完全避免的东西。

Multi-stakeholder perspectives on governing innovation in the digital afterlife 从多方利益相关者的角度看数字时代后的治理创新

Innovations regarding the digital afterlife, underpinned by rapid advances in generative AI and synthetic media, potentiate the creation of interactive, posthumous personas – digital re-creations – based on the digital remains of the dead. Current regulations do not extend to these, resulting in a governance void. We present findings from 69 stakeholder interviews that explored whether such re-creations should be governed and, if so, how. Our respondents exhibited a widespread view that governance was necessary and proposed several governance options, although there was little consensus as to which of these should be taken forward. Stakeholders acknowledged the various motivations and purposes of digital re-creations, which governance should be sensitive to. Our findings suggest governance principles that include proportionality (in relation to purpose and use), dignity (of the deceased) and protection from harm for those interacting with digital re-creations, particularly for the vulnerable, e.g. minors and those who may be grieving. Given the nascent stage of these innovations, initiatives aimed at developing a common understanding of terms (such as the digital afterlife), education and awareness programmes, and convening broadly configured, policy-oriented governance working groups are important first steps towards responsible development.
在生成式人工智能和合成媒体快速发展的支持下,有关数字来世的创新促进了基于死者数字遗骸的交互式死后人物形象的创造——数字再创造。当前的法规没有扩展到这些,从而导致治理空白。我们提出了69个利益相关者访谈的结果,探讨了是否应该治理这种再创造,如果是,如何治理。我们的受访者普遍认为治理是必要的,并提出了几种治理方案,尽管对于应该采取哪一种治理方案几乎没有达成共识。利益相关者承认数字再创造的各种动机和目的,治理应该对此保持敏感。我们的研究结果表明,治理原则包括相称性(与目的和使用有关)、尊严(死者)和保护与数字再创作互动的人免受伤害,特别是对弱势群体,如未成年人和可能悲伤的人。鉴于这些创新尚处于初级阶段,旨在形成对术语(如数字来世)的共同理解的倡议、教育和意识规划,以及召集广泛配置的、以政策为导向的治理工作组,是迈向负责任发展的重要第一步。

Enabling ethics mechanisms in the governance of algorithmic artificial persons (ALAP) 算法人工智能(ALAP)管治中的道德机制

In the global context of a ‘new social contract’ and a ‘flourishing world’, ethics mechanisms such as principles, guidelines, recommendations, standards, frameworks and checklists, are being established by public and private organisations and governments for the governance of 'algorithmic artificial persons (ALAP)', autonomous artificial intelligence (AAI) systems and emerging information and communication technologies (eICT). This paper examines, and identifies eleven gaps in the current ethics mechanisms, employing a ‘qualitative evidence synthesis’ (QES). Additionally, it proposes a ‘prescriptive conceptual model’ of an ‘anticipatory general ethics library’ (AnGEL), to enable resolution of these gaps. AnGEL is conceptually modelled as an implementable library of norms and rules for ALAPs / AAI systems and eICT, agnostic of domains and use cases. The conceptually modelled AnGEL may, post ‘verification’ through further discourse, and subsequent ‘validation’ of a prototype, be hosted on a cyber-physical intermediary. It can be rendered accessible through ‘Ethics-as-a-Service’ and provide ‘ethics interoperability’.
在“新社会契约”和“繁荣世界”的全球背景下,公共和私人组织和政府正在为“算法人工人(ALAP)”、自主人工智能(AAI)系统和新兴信息通信技术(eICT)的治理建立原则、指导方针、建议、标准、框架和清单等伦理机制。本文采用“定性证据综合”(QES)方法,研究并确定了当前伦理机制中的11个空白。此外,它提出了一个“预期一般伦理图书馆”(AnGEL)的“规定性概念模型”,以解决这些差距。AnGEL在概念上被建模为alap / AAI系统和eICT的可实现规范和规则库,与领域和用例无关。概念建模的AnGEL可以通过进一步的讨论进行“验证”,随后对原型进行“验证”,并托管在网络物理中介上。它可以通过“道德即服务”实现访问,并提供“道德互操作性”。

Within grief, chatbots are being used for therapy and as “griefbots”, impersonating the dead. Users risk data breaches and psychological attachments to monetised services. To determine human-centred guidelines for the responsible implementation of grief AI, a qualitative study was conducted, consisting of therapist interviews (N = 4), a survey of individuals who experienced grief (N = 49), and interviews with a subset of respondents (N = 4).
Participants expressed low trust in the efficacy and data security of therapeutic chatbots and strongly rejected griefbots, citing ethical and psychological concerns. Therapists also highlighted associated risks, but identified opportunities for their use as complementary therapy tools, emphasizing a need for professional supervision and usage restrictions.
Guidelines include personalisation, data privacy and security, professional oversight, and restrictions by age and psychological characteristics. The novel RUDA framework (Responsible Usage, Development, and Administration) is proposed, mitigating associated risks by outlining accountability by actor for the responsible implementation of grief AI.
在悲伤中,聊天机器人被用于治疗,也被用作“悲伤机器人”,扮演死者。用户面临着数据泄露的风险,以及对货币化服务的心理依恋。为了确定负责任地实施悲伤人工智能的以人为本的指导方针,进行了一项定性研究,包括治疗师访谈(N = 4),对经历悲伤的个人的调查(N = 49),以及对一部分受访者的访谈(N = 4)。参与者对治疗性聊天机器人的疗效和数据安全性表示不太信任,并出于道德和心理方面的考虑,强烈拒绝使用悲伤机器人。治疗师也强调了相关的风险,但也确定了将其作为辅助治疗工具的机会,强调需要专业监督和使用限制。指导方针包括个性化、数据隐私和安全、专业监督以及年龄和心理特征的限制。提出了新的RUDA框架(负责任的使用、开发和管理),通过概述参与者对负责任的悲伤人工智能实施的责任来减轻相关风险。

This paper introduces a newly developed specialised Corplus concordancer designed to work with corpora containing annotated language corrections. Unlike traditional concordancers, which focus on retrieving linguistic patterns and frequency data from various types of corpora, this tool emphasises the retrieval and comparison of both erroneous and corrected forms within texts. It allows researchers and educators to track, analyse, and compare errors alongside their corrections, providing empirical data that can be applied to first- or second-language acquisition research, as well as applied linguistics, such as the development of language learning materials. The intuitive interface of the Corplus concordancer makes it suitable for classroom use, supporting data-driven learning and other approaches based on authentic language data. The Corplus concordancer has already been implemented to provide access to two Slovene corpora: the developmental corpus Šolar and the learner corpus KOST. The tool is programmed in a way to support a variety of languages and corpus types.
本文介绍了一种新开发的专门的语料库检索器,设计用于包含注释语言更正的语料库。传统的协和语料库侧重于从各种类型的语料库中检索语言模式和频率数据,而这个工具强调文本中错误和正确形式的检索和比较。它允许研究人员和教育工作者跟踪、分析和比较错误以及他们的纠正,提供可应用于第一或第二语言习得研究的经验数据,以及应用语言学,如语言学习材料的开发。Corplus协和舞蹈家直观的界面使其适合课堂使用,支持数据驱动的学习和其他基于真实语言数据的方法。已经实施了Corplus协和舞者,以提供对两个斯洛文尼亚语料库的访问:发展语料库Šolar和学习者语料库KOST。该工具的编程方式支持多种语言和语料库类型。
