There are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationsethik.net\/13-artifacts-of-machine-ethics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artifacts of machine ethics<\/a>, e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/aaai.org\/ocs\/index.php\/SSS\/SSS18\/paper\/view\/17495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GOODBOT<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aaai.org\/ocs\/index.php\/SSS\/SSS17\/paper\/view\/15277\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LADYBIRD<\/a> by Oliver Bendel or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationsethik.net\/an-ethical-care-robot\/\">Nao<\/a> as a care robot by Susan Leigh and Michael Anderson. But there is no standardization in the field of moral machines yet. The MOML project, initiated by Oliver Bendel, is trying to work in this direction. In the management summary of his bachelor thesis Simon Giller writes: &#8222;We present a literature review in the areas of machine ethics and markup languages which shaped the proposed morality markup language (MOML). To overcome the most substantial problem of varying moral concepts, MOML uses the idea of the morality menu. The menu lets humans define moral rules and transfer them to an autonomous system to create a proxy morality. Analysing MOML excerpts allowed us to develop an XML schema which we then tested in a test scenario. The outcome is an XML based morality markup language for autonomous agents. Future projects can use this language or extend it. Using the schema, anyone can write MOML documents and validate them. Finally, we discuss new opportunities, applications and concerns related to the use of MOML. Future work could develop a controlled vocabulary or an ontology defining terms and commands for MOML.&#8220; The bachelor thesis will be publicly available in autumn 2020. It was supervised by Dr. Elzbieta Pustulka. There will also be a paper with the results next year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6410\" src=\"https:\/\/maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1325\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML.png 1325w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML-1024x434.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MOML-768x325.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fig.: Skeleton of the top elements (Illustration: Simon Giller)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many cases it is important that an autonomous system acts and reacts adequately from a moral point of view.
