I am delighted to present the first TAS-S annual report.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this has been a successful and busy 12 months for the project. Exciting results are already emerging from our three research strands and we are developing valuable opportunities to further expand our community of researchers and stakeholders from a wide range of industries.
The latest updates on our research activities are included in this report. In addition, we are taking an innovative approach towards ethical considerations for research with our Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) Framework for the Security of Autonomous Systems. This framework has been developed by Research Strand 3 and is being incorporated into different aspects of our work across all research strands.
We are also working with our stakeholders to explore the most effective ways to apply this to industry. Further details about ELSI can be found in the Research Strand 3 update.
This report details our activities from November 2020 – November 2021 and I am very much looking forward to working with colleagues across the project to develop our activities further in 2022.
