A framework for ethical governance
Scientists Behaving Responsibly
a call from the Sunday Times
How do we build trust?• We trust our technology not (just) because it is cool and
convenient, but because of Standards, Safety Certification and Regulation
• Without transparent and robust governance frameworks there will be no trust
Build on a foundation of ethics
ethics regulationstandards
Emerging standards:ISO 13482BS 8611
Tests (NIST)
Emerging Ethics:Roboethics roadmap (2006)
EPSRC/AHRC principles (2010)IEEE Global Initiative (2016)
Emerging regulation:Drones?
Driverless cars?Assistive robotics?
Projects:RoboLaw

Thoughts and Questions• What kind of governance do we want/need?• What kind of regulatory bodies?– An equivalent of the European Aviation Safety Authority
(EASA) for driverless cars..?• What standards are missing?• Who’s working on these questions…?
