e-person Architecture and Framework for Human-AI Co-adventure Relationship

Abstract: This paper proposes the e-person architecture for constructing a unified and incremental development of AI ethics. The e-person architecture takes the reduction of uncertainty through collaborative cognition and action with others as a unified basis for ethics. By classifying and defining uncertainty along two axes - (1) first, second, and third person perspectives, and (2) the difficulty of inference based on the depth of information - we support the development of unified and incremental development of AI ethics. In addition, we propose the e-person framework based on the free energy principle, which considers the reduction of uncertainty as a unifying principle of brain function, with the aim of implementing the e-person architecture, and we show our previous works and future challenges based on the proposed framework.
