Delivering Trustworthy Electoral Oversight:

Developing an Automated Analysis of Electoral Spending Disclosures in the UK

Investigating how electoral regulators and management bodies can benefit from using automated systems to better analyse and administer elections. It is widely accepted that democratic elections should be both free and fair, but also that citizens believe that elections exhibit these traits.

Mapping trustworthy systems for RAS in social care (MAP-RAS)

Following on from a previous project using Lego Serious Play, we now seek to move from the imaginary to the concrete by concentrating on an actual robot to help with dressing which is under development. We’ll investigate how this might integrate within the existing health-social care ecosystem in the UK.

Lead Contact: Stevienna de Saille, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Sheffield

InterNET ZERO: Towards Resource Responsible Trustworthy Autonomous Systems

Harnessing interdisciplinary methods from across Design, Human Computing Interaction and Science & Technology Studies research, we will collaborate closely with a range of stakeholders to rethink current AS infrastructures and anticipate resilient and efficient digital energy transition pathways for Resource Responsible Trustworthy Autonomous Systems design.

Lead Contact: Dr Michael Stead, Lecturer in Sustainable Design, Lancaster University

Co-designing Inclusive and Trustworthy Conversational Agents on Basic Services with Older Adults (CA4OA)

Studying with interdisciplinary approaches how design choices of Conversational Agents (CAs) (modality, embodiment, anthropomorphism) and Older Adults’ mental models, attributes (e.g., gender) and conditions (e.g., loneliness) are related to trust in CAs.
