  Our approach to constructing ethical charters is based on the ethical concept of moral value pluralism, which allows different value systems present among the collaborators of a project to be considered of equal importance. In line with this approach, we adopt the practice typical of the Confucian ethical tradition that emphasizes, among other things, harmony (和). This guides resolution, focusing on the coexistence of different parties \cite{ConfucianIdeal}. The notion of harmony thus fills one of our primary goals in helping people build ethical charters in AI development: to guide what people ought to do when making choices that affect others. Bottom-up collaboration, the support of ethics as a tool for constructing guidance, and value pluralism based on the notion of harmony make up the beacons of our approach.

  Our tutorial will draw on the idea that the scientific domain of artificial intelligence provides an opportunity for researchers from different disciplines to work together towards common goals. Tools of ethical reflection can help guide this interdisciplinary collaboration, aiding in distinguishing opinions from moral judgments, the importance of asking the right research questions, and the complexity of human judgment and emotion when defining ``good'' and ``bad'', ``right'' and ``wrong''. We will utilize previous work we have led as case studies, for example, the experience of drafting an ethical charter for BigScience \cite{BigScience}, an open science project focused on developing a multilingual language model and its dataset for research purposes.

  Participants will learn (1) why ethical charters are important and how they can guide AI development; (2) processes for eliciting values among groups while building consensus and avoiding inconsistency; and (3) techniques for operationalizing these values in projects. This workshop is one contribution in the broader enterprise of building ethical charters in AI development. As such, intended outcomes include the growth of more values-informed development of AI technology, fundamentally influencing what is prioritized and how people are affected.
