Formal models of AI responsibility compared to human judgment

Researchers have developed formal models for responsibility attribution in multi-agent AI systems, drawing on causal attribution frameworks. They conducted a large-scale survey using a modified Goofspiel card game to compare these formal models with human judgments of responsibility in sequential decision-making scenarios. While no single formal method perfectly matched human intuition, the study identified key factors influencing human perceptions of responsibility, such as agent-specific biases and the information available to agents. AI

IMPACT This research could inform the development of more transparent and accountable AI systems, particularly in scenarios involving multiple interacting agents.

    Responsibility in Multi-Agent Sequential Decision-Making: Comparing Human Judgments to Formal Models of Causal Attribution

    With the growing adoption of artificial intelligence in high-stakes decision-making, identifying the causes of outcomes--particularly failures--and determining who is responsible has become a critical concern. In this work, we examine how well formal definitions of \textit{respon…
