| description | <p dir="ltr"><b>This conference contribution was presented by Asma Tajuddin, University of Windsor, Canada. (Qatar International Conference on Debate and Dialogue. An Initiative of QatarDebate 2025).</b></p><p dir="ltr">This paper is exploratory and aims to achieve virtuous decision-making in automated systems. Virtuous decision-making in automated systems is attainable by either programming agents with ethical frameworks or principles or by having a human in the loop. Programming AI agents with virtues which make them decide like humans is complex and challenging. The proposed approach is unique as it involves a human in the loop along with multiple agents which have different personas. The model has four agents (4 LLMs) with unique personas and a user (human) interacting with each other to reach a decision. The first input is provided by the user, and the agents simultaneously respond to the user's arguments accordingly to reach a decision. The agents engage in a form of deliberation or debate, where they respond to the user's arguments and provide counter arguments or supporting arguments. As an example, the deliberation model discussed in Scott Aikin and Caleb Clanton's paper on <i>"</i><i>Developing Group-Deliberative Virtues</i><i>"</i> is implemented with the user (human) introducing the "lost at sea" scenario. The agents are modelled as virtues like WittyOne, FriendlyOne, Temperate and Courageous, helping the user decide on the things to be chosen for survival at sea. This proposed model can be used to simulate different scenarios and experiments by programming the agents with different personas for virtuous automated decision-making.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Conference information: The 2nd International Conference on Debate & Dialogue : An Initiative of QatarDebate (19 - 20 May 2025, Qatar National Conventions Center - QNCC, Doha - Qatar)<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p><p dir="ltr">See the conference information on the organizer's website: <a href="https://qatardebate.org/programs/academic-programs/2nd-icdd/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://qatardebate.org/programs/academic-programs/2nd-icdd/</a></p> |
