Biographie

AJung Moon est une roboticienne expérimentale. Elle étudie comment les robots et les systèmes d'intelligence artificielle influencent la façon dont les gens se déplacent, se comportent et prennent des décisions, afin de déterminer comment nous pouvons concevoir et déployer de tels systèmes intelligents autonomes de manière plus responsable.

À l'Université McGill, elle est directrice du laboratoire McGill Responsible Autonomy & Intelligent System Ethics (RAISE). Le laboratoire RAISE est un groupe interdisciplinaire qui étudie les implications sociales et éthiques des robots et des systèmes d'intelligence artificielle, et explore ce que cela signifie pour les ingénieurs de concevoir et de déployer ces systèmes de manière responsable pour un avenir technologique meilleur.

Using Open Source Licensing to Regulate the Assembly of LAWS: A Preliminary Analysis
Cheng Lin
AJung Moon
Lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS) are an emerging technology capable of automatically targeting and exercising lethal force. Many scholars an… (voir plus)d advocates have petitioned to ban the technology internationally for a myriad of reasons. However, there are practical challenges to implementing a ban. One such challenge is posed by the “intangible” nature of the software that LAWS depends on, which is incompatible with implementation mechanisms such as export control. Given the dual-use nature of software, and the fact that software is developed by teams of individuals, a number of soft governance mechanisms have been proposed to regulate this technology. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of one particular approach: leveraging open source licenses as a means to prohibit the use of certain software in LAWS. This approach is largely motivated by the fact that open source software underpins all of technology, especially AI. Through a review of the recent tech activism and open source activism, we evaluate whether open source licenses can feasibly limit the use of open source software to only non-LAWS applications. We distill the current challenges facing “ethics-driven” open source licensing efforts into three main obstacles: the need for clarity of licensing language, the lack of enforceability of licenses, and the lack of cohesiveness of the open source community. We propose that addressing these factors are also success criteria for future anti-LAWS open source initiatives. We find that open source licenses provide more theoretical than practical promise in regulating LAWS, and conclude that cohesion in the open source community is the key to their potential practical success in the future.

Driver perceptions of advanced driver assistance systems and safety

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are often used in the automotive industry to highlight innovative improvements in vehicle safety. … (voir plus)However, today it is unclear whether certain automation (e.g., adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, parking assist) increases safety of our roads. In this paper, we investigate driver awareness, use, perceived safety, knowledge, training, and attitudes toward ADAS with different automation systems/features. Results of our online survey (n=1018) reveal that there is a significant difference in frequency of use and perceived safety for different ADAS features. Furthermore, we find that at least 70% of drivers activate an ADAS feature"most or all of the time"when driving, yet we find that at least 40% of drivers report feeling that ADAS often compromises their safety when activated. We also find that most respondents learn how to use ADAS in their vehicles by trying it out on the road by themselves, rather than through any formal driver education and training. These results may mirror how certain ADAS features are often activated by default resulting in high usage rates. These results also suggest a lack of driver training and education for safely interacting with, and operating, ADAS, such as turning off systems/features. These findings contribute to a critical discussion about the overall safety implications of current ADAS, especially as they enable higher-level automation features to creep into personal vehicles without a lockstep response in training, regulation, and policy.

Drivers' Awareness, Knowledge, and Use of Autonomous Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Vehicle Automation

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies in vehicles (e.g. park assist, lane change assist, emergency braking, etc.), which ta… (voir plus)ke over parts of the driving task of human drivers, are advancing at a disruptive pace and hold the potential to deliver many benefits to society. However, public understanding of ADAS systems, and driver training and licensing for using them, are lagging behind the fast-paced technological development, which could raise safety issues or slow the deployment of ADAS, thus offsetting their potential benefits. There is, therefore, a need to investigate issues related to public perception of ADAS in order to develop appropriate policies and governance structures which support innovation, and result in the smooth deployment and acceptance of appropriate ADAS for society. In this work we perform a quantitative public survey to better understand how the public's awareness and knowledge of ADAS technologies in their vehicles correlate to their use or engagement of those technologies. We find that up to 67% of participants never or rarely use optional ADAS in their vehicles (e.g. adaptive cruise control), where women were less likely than men to use ADAS even though women reported more awareness of ADAS in their vehicles, better training, and more willingness to pay for ADAS. By performing this analysis we hope to raise awareness around the public perception of current state-of-the-art in ADAS technologies. We also hope to flag concerns that answers to these questions might raise for the regulatory agencies, and manufacturers, responsible for bringing these technologies to market.
