The development of Artificial Intelligence is experiencing a fruitful period of incredible progress and innovation. After decades of notable successes and disappointing failures, AI is now poised to emerge in the public sphere and completely transform human society, altering how we work, how we interact with each other and our environments, and how we perceive the world. Designers have already begun implementing AI that enables machines to learn new skills and make decisions in increasingly complex situations. The result is that these machines - also called intelligent agents - decide, act and interact in shared and dynamic environments under domain constraints, where they may interact with other agents and human beings to share tasks or execute tasks on behalf of others. Search engines, self-driving cars, electronic markets, smart homes, military technology, software for big data analysis, and care robots are just a few examples.

Ten papers were submitted to EDIA, nine of them have been accepted for presentation after being reviewed by three or four members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers have been organized in two sessions: 1. Ethical issues and ethical application of intelligent agents (four papers) 2. Ethical models of intelligent agents (five papers)
The EDIA workshop would not have been possible without the support of many people. First of all we would like to thank the members of the Program Committee for providing timely and thorough reviews. We are also very grateful to all the authors who submitted papers to EDIA Workshop. We would like also to thank Bertram Malle and Jeremy Pitt who have accepted to give an invited talk in the workshop. We would like also to thank the organizers of ECAI 2016.
