A great start to Friday with a research workshop Institute for Safe Autonomy with colleagues from #AssuringAutonomy , UoY Computer Science York Law School Physics at York Engineering at York UoY School for Business and Society - Research YorRobots and more discussing future collaboration #YorkResearch

How can we assure the safety of automated decision-making tools in air traffic control? The #AssuringAutonomy demonstrator with NATS is looking at Wizard of Oz prototyping, validation, & testing. Find out more: york.ac.uk/assuring-auton…

In case you are interested in the safety of automated driving systems & how #standards can enable their safe deployment, join me & others at BSI UK Future of Vehicle Safety: #ADAS to #AutomatedDriving webinar

Interdisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of our #AssuringAutonomy work. This is the latest paper from AAIP and colleagues in York Law School UoY Philosophy and AAIP Fellow 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙻𝚊𝚠𝚝𝚘𝚗 💙 looking at accountability for AI & autonomous systems #YorkResearch

What do we mean by accountability when AI makes decisions?
When we talk about blame and praise for things going wrong (or right!) it's important our language is clear.

Free access to our new paper exploring this - with Ibrahim Habli John McDermid Assuring Autonomy International Programme
