| Summary: | Ethical oversight of AI research is beset by a number of problems. There are
numerous ways to tackle these problems, however, they leave full responsibility
for ethical reflection in the hands of review boards and committees. In this
paper, we propose an alternative solution: the training of ethically
responsible AI researchers. We showcase this solution through a case study of a
centre for doctoral training and outline how ethics training is structured in
the program. We go on to present two second-year students' reflections on their
training which demonstrates some of their newly found capabilities as ethically
responsible researchers. |
