Preface
The German conference on Artificial Intelligence (abbreviated KI for “Künstliche
Intelligenz”) has developed from a series of inofficial meetings and workshops, orga-
nized by the German “Gesellschaft für Informatik” (association for computer science,
GI), into an annual conference series dedicated to research on theory and applications
of intelligent system technology. While KI is primarily attended by researchers from
Germany and neighboring countries, it is open to international participation and con-
tinues to draw various submissions from the international research community.
ThisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatKI2018,whichwasheldonSeptember
24–28, 2018 in Berlin. In response to the call for papers, we received 65 submissions
reporting on original research. Despite its focus on Germany, KI 2018 received sub-
missions from over 20 countries. Each of the submitted papers was reviewed and
discussedbyatleastthreemembersoftheProgramCommittee,whodecidedtoaccept
23 papers for presentation at the conference. Due to the unusually high number of
good-quality submissions, 11 additional papers were selected for poster presentation,
accompanied by a short paper in the proceedings. Prominent research topics of this
year’sconferencewereMachineLearning,Multi-AgentSystems,andBeliefRevision.
Overall, KI 2018 offered a broad overview of current research topics in AI.
As is customary for the KI conference series, there were awards for the best paper
and the best student paper. This year’s award winners were selected based on the
reviews supplied by the PC members. The paper chosen for the best paper award is
Preference-Based Monte Carlo Tree Search by Tobias Joppen, Christian Wirth, and
Johannes Fürnkranz. The paper chosen for the best student paper award is Model
CheckingforCoalitionAnnouncementLogicbyRustamGalimullin,NatashaAlechina,
and Hans van Ditmarsch.

of the Gesellschaft für Informatik. Both conferences shared a reception event and an

other invited talks of KI 2018 were by Dietmar Jannach on Session-Based Recom-

As KI is the premier forum for AI researchers in Germany, there were also several
co-located events. The conference week started with a collection of workshops dedi-
cated todiverse topicssuchasprocessing webdata orformalandcognitiveaspects of
reasoning. In addition, tutorials on Statistical Relational AI (StarAI, organized by
Tanya Braun, Kristian Kersting, and Ralf Möller) and Real-Time Recommenations
with Streamed Data (organized by Andreas Lommatzsch, Benjamin Kille, Frank
Hopfgartner,andTorbenBrodt)whereoffered.Furthermore,adoctoralconsortiumwas
organized by Johannes Fähndrich to support PhD students in the field of AI.

Machine Ethics and Artificial Morality
(Abstract of Keynote Talk)
Catrin Misselhorn
UniversitätStuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany
Abstract. Machine ethics explores whether and how artificial systems can be
furnished with moral capacities, i.e., whether there cannot just be artificial
intelligence, but artificial morality. This question becomes more and more
pressing since the development of increasingly intelligent and autonomous
technologies will eventually lead to these systems having to face morally
problematic situations. Much discussed examples are autonomous driving,
health care systems and war robots. Since these technologies will have a deep
impactonourlivesitisimportantformachineethicstodiscussthepossibilityof
artificialmoralityanditsimplicationsforindividualsandsociety.Startingwith
some examples of artificial morality, the talk turns to conceptual issues in
machine ethics that are important for delineating the possibility and scope of
artificial morality, in particular, what anartificial moral agent is;how morality
should beunderstoodinthe context ofartificialmorality; andhow humanand
artificial morality compare. It will be outlined in some detail how moral
capacities can be implemented in artificial systems. On the basis of these
findings some of the arguments that can be found in public discourse about
artificialmoralitywillbereviewedandtheprospectsandchallengesofartificial
moralityaregoingtobediscussedwithregardtodifferentareasofapplication.
