RoboTIPS: Developing Responsible Robots for the Digital Economy

这一奖学金将汇集来自不同行业的各种人，包括学术界、工业界、民间社会、政策制定者和公众，以创造开发和管理技术创新的新方法。在增加技术创新的经济需要和以负责任的方式发展这些创新--即以社会可以接受和希望的方式--之间往往存在紧张关系。我们将制定一种方法，不仅要预测技术创新对社会的积极结果，而且还要预测潜在的负面后果。我们将利用这一点以及对人们生存权利和义务的理解，为设计师提供创造性的资源和方法，以开发负责任和负责任的新技术。负责任的创新是数字经济中旨在促进信任、身份、隐私和安全的技术的核心。尽管它已经在其他科学领域得到借鉴，但我们还没有一个完整的例子来说明负责任的创新如何成功地应用于可持续发展领域。该奖学金将考虑一个激励榜样，在行动中发展负责任的创新。我们将着眼于一个特定的技术领域，开发一个敏捷的过程，在快速变化的背景下考虑到广泛的人的观点，以便对创新的轨迹产生一些影响。我们将重点关注社交机器人领域，即那些与人互动并自行决定做什么的机器人。因为他们自己做决定是为了采取行动，我们需要能够在事情似乎出错的时候，找回他们做了什么以及为什么要这样做。我们将开发一个道德黑匣子(EBB)，通过它，社交机器人将能够以简单和可理解的方式解释其行为。衰退的发展将是负责任的创新的一个例子。我们将测试这一点，特别是将事故调查作为一个社会过程，我们将在3个不同的研究领域进行这一测试。在奖学金的最后阶段，我们将通过各种方式展示技术开发和调查的结果，包括通过网络和最后的公开展示活动。这将面向包括普通公众、政策制定者和开发商在内的各种人。

This fellowship will bring together a variety of people from different walks of life, including academics, industry, civil societies, policy makers and members of the public, in order to create new ways of developing and managing technological innovations. There is often a tension between the economic needs for increasing technological innovation and the ways in which these innovations may be developed responsibly - that is in a manner that is societally acceptable and desirable. We will develop an approach that aims to anticipate not only the positive outcomes but also the potentially negative consequences of technological innovations for society. We will draw on this and an understanding of people's lived rights and obligations to provide creative resources and methods for designers to develop responsible and accountable new technologies. Responsible Innovation lies at the heart of technologies in the Digital economy that aim to promote trust, identity, privacy and security. Although it has been drawn on in other scientific domains, as yet we have no complete example of how responsible innovation can be successfully applied in the DE sector. The fellowship will consider a motivating example to develop responsible innovation in action. We will look into one particular domain of technology and develop an agile process which will take account of the views of a wide range of people in a fast-changing context, in order to have some influence over the trajectory of an innovation. We will focus on the domain of social robots, those which interact with people and make decisions about what to do on their own accord. Because they make their own decisions in order to perform actions, we need to be able to recover what they did and why they did it, when things seem to go wrong. We will develop an ethical black box (EBB) through which the social robot will be able to explain its behaviour in simple and understandable ways. The development of the EBB will be an example of responsible innovation. We will test this out in particular accident investigations as a social process and we will do this in 3 different study domains. In the final stages of the fellowship, we will show the outcomes of the technological development and the investigations through a variety of means, including through the web and a final public showcase event. This will be to a variety of people including the general public, policy makers, and developers.
