Scientists Create AI System That Makes Ethical Decisions Using Dual-Model Framework to Assess Risk and Align Actions with Values
Summary
Scientists develop groundbreaking AI system using dual-model framework that automatically makes ethical decisions by having one model propose actions while another judges and corrects them based on organizational values and risk assessment.
Key Points
- Researchers demonstrate building autonomous agents that align actions with ethical values using open-source Hugging Face models including distilgpt2 and flan-t5-small running locally in Google Colab
- The system implements a dual-model approach where a policy model proposes candidate actions and an ethics judge model evaluates and corrects them based on organizational values and risk assessment
- The framework generates multiple action candidates, scores them by risk level (LOW/MED/HIGH), and automatically selects the most ethically aligned option while providing detailed reasoning reports
