IJCAI and ECAI may in the future choose to adopt a formal code of ethics. In the meantime, research reported at this conference should contribute to the benefit of society, avoid harm, be honest and trustworthy, fair and non-discriminatory, and respect privacy and intellectual property. The ACM (
https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics) and AAAI (
https://www.aaai.org/Conferences/code-of-ethics-and-conduct.php) codes of ethics provide examples of the sort of principles which we are hoping to promote.
