Responsibility for intelligent machines: a cognitive approach

Conference by Patrick Haggard, 2020-2021 Paris IAS Research Fellow, as part of the Sorbonne Université SCAI Program

Much is written about "responsible AI" - but what does responsibility mean in this context?  This talk begins by considering the cognitive basis of human responsibility, in order to inform comparisons between human and artificial agents.  Human agents make a mental link between their intended action, and the outcome of that action.  I will show that this mental link underpins the everyday experiences of sense of agency and responsibility - which algorithmic systems currently lack.
