First time poster here. I am currently doing my master’s degree in design engineering at Imperial College London, and I am trying to create a project proposal around the topic of computational social choice and machine learning for ethical decision making. I’m struggling to find a “design engineering” take on this—what can I do to contribute in the field as a design engineer?
In terms of prior art, I’ve been inspired by MIT’s Moral Machine, feeding ML models of aggregate ethical decisions from people. If anyone has any ideas on a des eng angle to approach this topic, please give me some pointers!

I don’t think it’ll help you in particular but my thinking was influenced by Critch’s comments about how CSC applies to existential safety https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/hvGoYXi2kgnS3vxqb/some-ai-research-areas-and-their-relevance-to-existential-1#Computational_Social_Choice__CSC_
Seems somewhat related to RadicalXChange stuff. Maybe look into that. They have some meetups and mailing lists.
