EthicsNet, developed by lecode, is a free Chrome add-on that aims to empower socially-aware thinking machines by providing large, well-documented datasets for training machine intelligence. Just as datasets like ImageNet have revolutionized machine learning in image recognition, EthicsNet seeks to do the same for kind behaviors.

The program recognizes that prosocial behavior can vary across time, geography, and culture. To democratize access and opportunity, EthicsNet aims to involve a broader community in contributing to this world-changing system. By collating and annotating datasets that reflect diverse cultures, opinions, and creeds, EthicsNet intends to expand the scope and nuance of machine ethics over time.

With EthicsNet, users can teach machines about their individual and cultural behavioral preferences, advancing the field of machine ethics. By providing a mechanism to reach and understand the preferences of others, EthicsNet enables machines to learn and amplify prosocial behaviors.
