Industry 4.0Can AI Ethics be Embedded in the Innovation Lifecycle?
Monday, 9th May 2022, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
This event focuses on manufacturing to understand the potential for an AI ethics framework in the Industry 4.0 (I4) innovation cycle, and what the outcomes are for the workforce.
The event is aligned with newly developed strategies for ethics in AI, including the work by Innovate UK (via Catapult High Value Manufacturing), the Scottish AI Alliance, and the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS). We will engage with the now leading industry framework, Aletheia, an ethics assessment toolkit developed by Rolls Royce with open access for the public.
