Behavioural ethics is the empirical study of ethical questions. Our behavioural ethics lab studies topics like fairness, equality, values and norms. That is, how people behave when their decisions and actions impact others. At the moment, we are focused on understanding the psychological factors that shape people’s decisions when overseeing AI systems.
