On Specifying for Trustworthiness
As autonomous systems (AS) increasingly become part of our daily lives,
ensuring their trustworthiness is crucial. In order to demonstrate the
trustworthiness of an AS, we first need to specify what is required for an AS
to be considered trustworthy. This roadmap paper identifies key challenges for
specifying for trustworthiness in AS, as identified during the "Specifying for
Trustworthiness" workshop held as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)
Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) programme. We look across a range of AS
domains with consideration of the resilience, trust, functionality,
verifiability, security, and governance and regulation of AS and identify some
of the key specification challenges in these domains. We then highlight the
intellectual challenges that are involved with specifying for trustworthiness
in AS that cut across domains and are exacerbated by the inherent uncertainty
involved with the environments in which AS need to operate.Comment: Accepted version of paper. 13 pages, 1 table, 1 figur
