Meaningful Human Control beyond LAWS

How do we design AI systems such that they remain under human control and responsibility? The multidisciplinary panel explores this question for a wide range of AI technologies and domains: defence, transportation, healthcare, and recommender systems. It gives more substance to the notion of “meaningful human control” and it expands it beyond the political debates on autonomous weapon systems.

Chaired by Filippo Santoni de Sio (TU Delft), one of the leading scholars on the topic and co-editor of the forthcoming multidisciplinary Handbook on Meaningful Human Control of Artificial Intelligence (Edward Elgar 2023), the panel features leading experts in engineering, philosophy, law, and investigates how we can ensure that we retain responsibility and accountability as well as the ability to preserve relevant human values, in the design and use of AI, in the defence domain and beyond.
