Professional Trust and Autonomous Systems

Research project

Short description

The project aims to better understand trust in relation to the transformative effects on society that can be tied to artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. We seek to understand the unique requirements for trust to form and grow from the inside in the processes emerging around the deployment of new systems. We will study how instances of distrust emerge, how risks are managed and how concerns of accountability are discussed and handled, and the goal of the project is to develop accountable research designs that will guide future research in areas where machine learning is implicated in professional practices.
