How can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (ai)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously? Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits - but also undesirable situations where moral responsibility for their actions cannot be properly attributed to any particular person or group. The concept of meaningfulhumancontrol has been proposed to address responsibility gaps and mitigate them by establishing conditions that enable a proper attribution of responsibility for humans; however, clear requirements for researchers, designers, and engineers are yet inexistent, making the development of ai-based systems that remain under meaningfulhumancontrol challenging. In this paper, we address the gap between philosophical theory and engineering practice by identifying, through an iterative process of abductive thinking, four actionable properties for ai-based systems under meaningfulhumancontrol, which we discuss making use of two applications scenarios: automated vehicles and ai-based hiring. First, a system in which humans and ai algorithms interact should have an explicitly defined domain of morally loaded situations within which the system ought to operate. Second, humans and ai agents within the system should have appropriate and mutually compatible representations. Third, responsibility attributed to a human should be commensurate with that human’s ability and authority to control the system. Fourth, there should be explicit links between the actions of the ai agents and actions of humans who are aware of their moral responsibility. We argue that these four properties will support practically minded professionals to take concrete steps toward designing and engineering for ai systems that facilitate meaningfulhumancontrol.
