New Algebraic Normative Theories for Ethical and Legal Reasoning in the LogiKEy Framework (2107.11838v2)

Abstract: In order to design and engineer ethical and legal reasoners and responsible systems, Benzm\"{u}ller, Parent and van der Torre introduced the LogiKEy methodology, based on the semantical embedding of deontic logics into classic higher-order logic. This article considerably extends the LogiKEy deontic logics and dataset using an algebraic approach, and develops a theory of input/output operations for normative reasoning on top of Boolean algebras.
