We assume that trustworthy autonomous systems (or TAS) will make our future better. Think AI powered robots that could help us go about our everyday lives. But WHOSE future do trustworthy autonomous systems improve?
Right now, the design of TAS is not inclusive. Technology created to assist, rarely involves the user in the processes of research, design and creation. Researchers from the Universities of Sheffield and York have been working with nine students from Greenacre Special School as co-researchers and co-designers in reflecting, and reimagining trustworthy autonomous systems.
