Marianne Bellotti - Killer Robots and Rogue AI: lessons for technologists from safety science
Channel: DevOpsDays DC
Date: 05/12/2022

Many of our anxieties about technology focus on unlikely nightmare scenarios while safety hazards linger in every day software engineering. Safety science has been documenting the complications around automation, algorithmic transparency, and control systems for decades, but few software engineers know about these best practices because safety science is considered a social science rather than an engineering discipline. This talk will highlight some of the most relevant research from this space and how to apply those best practices to building and scaling the systems you work on every day.
