About the event
Are you an academic or early career researcher working on any aspect of risk assessment in socio-technical systems where AI is implicated?
Are you involved assessing risk in safety-critical settings involving AI in technology development, its application in a governmental, commercial or industrial context or in policy-making?
You are warmly invited to join Julian Padget and Andrew Peck for an interactive round-table discussion exploring risk, attribution and accountability in the use of AI, and in particular adaptive AI, in safety-critical settings. The workshop forms part of a wider project aiming to inform UK government policy and the insurance sector as AI is applied to a range of operational and safety critical areas including self-driving vehicles and the navigation, decision support technology for national defence, and robotics in healthcare. The workshop will inform a white paper which speaks to safety critical use cases and the insurance sector.
The meeting is supported by the SPRITE+ network, the Bath Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour and the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Accountable, Responsible and Transparent AI at the University of Bath.
