Dialogue systems are a class of increasingly popular AI-based solutions to support timely and interactive communication with users in many domains. Due to the apparent possibility of users disclosing their sensitive data when interacting with such systems, ensuring that the systems follow the relevant laws, regulations, and ethical principles should be of primary concern. In this context, we discuss the main open points regarding these aspects and propose an approach grounded on a computational argumentation framework. Our approach ensures that user data are managed according to data minimization, purpose limitation, and integrity.

Abstract

Dialogue systems are a class of increasingly popular AI-based solutions to support timely and interactive communication with users in many domains. Due to the apparent possibility of users disclosing their sensitive data when interacting with such systems, ensuring that the systems follow the relevant laws, regulations, and ethical principles should be of primary concern. In this context, we discuss the main open points regarding these aspects and propose an approach grounded on a computational argumentation framework. Our approach ensures that user data are managed according to data minimization, purpose limitation, and integrity. Moreover, it is endowed with the capability of providing motivations for the system responses to offer transparency and explainability. We illustrate the architecture using as a case study a COVID-19 vaccine information system, discuss its theoretical properties, and evaluate it empirically.
