Responsibility and Accountability in Safety-Critical AI Applications

We invite you to register for a 2-day Workshop on Responsibility and Accountability in Safety-Critical AI Applications, Incepta Lab, University of Bath, 12th January - 13th January 2026.   

The workshop is an interactive round-table discussion exploring risk, attribution and accountability in the use of AI, and in particular adaptive AI, in safety-critical settings. The workshop brings together academics working on all aspect of risk assessment in socio-technical systems where AI is implicated and those involved assessing risk in safety-critical settings involving AI in technology development, its application in a governmental, commercial or industrial context or in policy-making. 

The workshop forms part of a wider project aiming to inform UK government policy and the insurance sector as AI is applied to a range of operational and safety critical areas including self-driving vehicles and the navigation, decision support technology for national defence, and robotics in healthcare. The workshop will inform a white paper which speaks to safety critical use cases and the insurance sector.
