Increasing deployment of advanced technology in daily lives - from embodied robotics to AI algorithms - continues to raiseever more complex questions about the ethical implications of their use, and what that means in practical terms.  One approach is to frame the debate around what we mean by Responsible Robotic and AI (RAI) use. In this talk, Dr. Collins will...

While the NLP community has traditionally explored the ethical issues of text-based models (such as hate speech detection, inherent biases of the system etc), real-world conversations and dialogues differ significantly from structured, written text documents, and this brings with it its own unique set of safety challenges. From an understanding...

The classical notion of correctness in formal verification is not appropriate for multi-agent systems–-it does not capture the strategic behaviour of rational agents. As such, a different notion of correctness was proposed through the concept of rational verification. In doing so, we transform multi-agent systems into multi-player games and use...
