Abstract

Transferring and using datasets online presents significant legal and ethical challenges, including issues related to privacy, safety, and bias. Careful planning is essential for compliance with the diverse legal frameworks and ethical standards of different countries. In our approach, legal and ethical checkers are implemented as independent modules capable of operating on separate servers if necessary. This structure is logical given the specialized knowledge required to express legal and ethical norms specific to each country. This paper describes the integration of a planning agent that employs an online Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planner with these legal and ethical checkers. It also introduces, assesses, and compares three different interaction modes between these modules to facilitate efficient online legal and ethical planning. The assessment emphasizes interaction frequency and computation time, with scenarios related to international data transfer and usage demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach. By exploring these interaction modes, the paper aims to provide a robust framework for managing the complexities of adhering to diverse legal and ethical requirements in a global context.
