ABSTRACT
Ethical considerations are getting increased attention with regards to providing responsible personalization for robots and autonomous systems. This is partly a result of the currently limited deployment of such systems in human support and interaction settings. There are many different ethical considerations, and it is important to identify those relevant to one's own work within user modelling and personalization. The tutorial paper will give an overview of the most commonly expressed ethical challenges and ways being undertaken to reduce their impact using the findings in an earlier undertaken review supplemented with recent work and initiatives. That includes the identified challenges in a “Statement on research ethics in artificial intelligence”.
The tutorial related to this paper exemplified the challenges related to privacy, security and safety through several examples from own and others’ work. With tutorial presenters from two different continents (Asia and Europe), the tutorial covered the views on ethical assessment across countries and cultures. Thus, it illustrated to what extent perspectives are similar and what are regarded as the most important ethical aspects in the two countries.

Ethical pluralism and global information ethics
A global information ethics that seeks to avoid imperialistic homogenization must conjoin shared norms while simultaneously preserving the irreducible differences between cultures and peoples. I argue that a global information ethics may fulfill these ...
