Finally, panellists discuss different ways of minimising poor outcomes for people from #AI decisions; First, anticipatory, through ethical risk assessment; Second, after the event, interrogating the #EBB; Third, independent audit of algorithms. #RoboTips

Panellists discuss ways of ensuring that corrective actions taken after accidents or incidents are effective given the complexity of social #AI. #RoboTips

.@Marenka talks about getting away from the "no blame culture" to encourage information sharing and learning from mistakes. Both @LordChrisHolmes and Lord Clement-Jones agree on the importance of culture. #RoboTips

Data, data, data: Lord Clement-Jones raises the value of Article 22 of the #GDPR. He advocates this article should be extended and made relevant for the #Robot age. This chimes with @Policy_Connect's contribution to the government consultation on #Data protection. #RoboTips

.@Marenka says that in terms of developing the #EBB, a fundamental part of their research is looking at what types of issues will emerge from mock accidents and incident investigations and how it is captured and stored to increase confidence in the EBB. #RoboTips

"#AI governance when it comes down to it should be all about risk assessment and learning from real experience bottom-up." says Lord Clement-Jones in response to a question on the policy roadmap. #RoboTips

Social #AI technologies exist now & are being used - what's the roadmap for implementation of #EBB & how the technologies interact with the public in people's day-to-day lives? @alan_winfield stresses the importance of stakeholder involvement at the early #Design stage. #RoboTips

Transparency: should it be a means rather than an end? What is the goal here? Panellists use examples of decisions that affect people's lives such as #AI based decision on parole dates. Transparency and ethics are a means to better, fairer decisions. #RoboTips

Panellists discuss whether regulation has to be a brake on progress but rather how it can be a source of positive #Innovation and that #Robots are not humanoids but are created by humans - more like aircraft than aliens. #RoboTips

What are the costs of the #EBB, and what first steps does government need to take? @Marenka agrees that a prize to celebrate the first EBB & UKRI grants - would all be good but the first step is a requirement for all social #Robots to have this EBB. #RoboTips

We're now entering a general discussion, under Chatham House Rules, starting with a debate on what obstacles there are to delivering the #EBB concept. @Marenka addresses issues of intellectual property rights, privacy and culture. #RoboTips
