A proposal to graphically represent ethical decision-making
Abstract
The course of action through which agents reach their decision-making processes, ethical or unethical, can be formalized through Ethical Decision-Making Models (EDMMs). The interest in ethical decision-making both from academia and practitioners in Business Informatics has increased recently due to the advances in the Artificial Intelligence field. Research is focused on theoretical models to explain ethical decision-making, factors that influence it and measuring tools to assess it. However, to the best of our knowledge there is an absence of a graphic resource to represent the elements of an EDMM that goes beyond the textual scope. This paper is the first step in thinking-making a graphical representation that includes elements of EDMM, enables a more complete information panorama as possible, documents ethical decision-making and facilitates the visualization of these knowledge assets.
