Autonomous Intelligent Systems - DataScienceCentral.com

Autonomous Intelligent Systems are AI software systems that act independently of direct human supervision, e.g., self-driving cars, UAVs, smart manufacturing robots, care robots for the elderly and virtual agents for training or support. Such systems need to be able to make safe, rational and human values-compatible decisions in unforeseen circumstances. Their decision making should be understandable by human users and collaborators, to ensure the necessary trust on behalf of the human users. There are multiple challenges in this area spanning both technology and ethics. It is also an interdisciplinary subject spanning science, humanities and social sciences.
