Abstract

With the increasing presence and integration of technology in our society, they are more frequently involved in fundamental decisions that have a significant impact on us. It is only natural that, if decisions will be automated by technology, we would wish to guarantee they are optimally good and we...

description	With the increasing presence and integration of technology in our society, they are more frequently involved in fundamental decisions that have a significant impact on us. It is only natural that, if decisions will be automated by technology, we would wish to guarantee they are optimally good and well-behaved according to ethical (moral, value, deontic) requirements. One approach which seeks to integrate values within the decision process is called Value-based Reasoning. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of the literature on Value-based Reasoning to gain a clear understanding of the broader landscape of this field and to determine its future direction.
