Ethical Decision-Making for Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Under Uncertainty

Autonomous systems offer significant benefits but raise con- cerns about safety, ethics, and compliance with norms. Ensuring their trustworthiness requires reliability, safety, and ethical decision-making in uncertain environments. This paper introduces WeDo-BDI, a logic enabling probabilistic belief representation from sensor data and assess- ment of plans based on ethical principles. An example with an unmanned aerial vehicle demonstrates its application in uncertain, ethical decision- making scenarios.
