Hm. I would prefer that quote to look more like

Both ethicists and engineers stand to benefit from working together: ethicists may gain a greater understanding of their field by trying to teach ethics to machines, and engineers need to implement acceptable ethics without trial and error.

My meaning is that it seems awkward if the engineers are doing something to "reassure society" - they should be doing it to get things right.
