Resum
We adopt an emerging and prominent vision of human-centred Artificial Intelligence that requires building trustworthy intelligent systems. Such systems should be capable of dealing with the challenges of an interconnected globalised world by handling plurality and by abiding to human values. Within this vision, pluralistic value alignment is a core problem for AI - that is, the challenge of creating AI systems that align with a set of diverse individual value systems. So far, most literature on value-alignment has considered alignment to a single value system. To address this research gap, we propose a novel method for the estimation and aggregation of multiple individual value systems. We rely on recent results in the social choice literature and formalise the value system aggregation problem as an optimisation problem. We then cast this problem as an $\ell_p$-regression problem. By doing so, we provide a principled and general theoretical framework to model and solve the aggregation problem. Our aggregation method allows us to consider a range of ethical principles, from utilitarian (maximum utility) to egalitarian (maximum fairness). We illustrate the aggregation of value systems by considering real-world data of two case studies: the Participatory Value Evaluation process, and the European Values Study. Our experimental evaluation shows how different consensus value systems can be obtained depending on the ethical principle of choice, leading to practical insights for a decision-maker on how to perform value system aggregation.
