 - title: "Coming Together: Addressing Ethical AI with Diverse Teams and Perspectives"
   description: >
-    It is important to understand what we are willing to entrust to AI as society integrates these systems into more facets of public, private, and commercial life. Trust is a key concept relating to autonomous systems as is outlined in AI Ethics guidelines, frameworks, and regulation. While there is universal agreement on the importance of trust and there are common key principles, there is no agreement on what defines trust and how to develop, design and deploy trustworthy systems. Furthermore, different disciplines approach trust in various ways. This workshop aims to facilitate interactive discussions on how to address issues of trustworthiness in autonomous AI systems through an interdisciplinary lens. Workshop participants will hear insights from guest speaker Steve Kramer, Chief Scientist at KUNGFU.AI, an Austin-based AI consulting firm providing interdisciplinary AI expertise. Following a presentation, participants will be encouraged to approach AI from a set of diverse lenses with the goal of reaching consensus on key ethical issues through a case study challenge. This event is designed to broadly appeal to researchers from various backgrounds (both technical and non-technical) working on or interested in issues at the intersection of AI and ethics.

 - title: "Human-AI Alignment: Developing a research agenda by bridging interdisciplinary approaches"
   description: >
     With the increased capability and proliferation of AI systems across various domains, ensuring that these systems align with human intentions and values is crucial. Research across disciplines, such as computer science, human-computer interaction, philosophy, and policy, usually targets one aspect of AI alignment, leading to a siloed understanding of its challenges. This workshop aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of human-AI alignment through the integration of diverse disciplinary perspectives.

+- title: The regulation of workplaces in the age of collaborative robotics towards trustworthy embodied autonomous systems
+  description: >
+    <p>
+    Since the first industrial revolution, workplaces have been a highly regulated and governed area of activity. From the early developments of health and safety law to development around working time, the relationship between humans, their employers and their fellow employees has been an important area of intervention. 
+    </p><p>
+    When static robots were introduced onto production lines, they were required to be guarded like any other tool. However, with the development of robotics and the embodiment of artificial intelligence in robots made to collaborate, the old models of regulation of robots are outdated. Human-robot collaboration has the potential to make a huge contribution to the future economic, enabling manufacturing process that bring together the best of both humans and robots. In order for this to be the future, we have to ensure that the appropriate regulatory framework is in place, to enable workers to both feel and be safe, and for businesses to have comfort in introducing collaborative robots into their workplaces.
+    </p><p>
+    This workshop aims to explore the challenges of regulating a workplace that uses (or wishes to use) collaborative robots. It seeks to identify the issues that require further research or would benefit from consideration by policy-makers.

+- title: A Hands-on Workshop for Responsible Research and Innovation
+  description: >
+    Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is a continuous process to anticipate how research/innovation outcomes and processes may affect people and the environment in the future, and act in the present to gain the most benefit, minimise risks, and avoid harm. There remains a gap between the theory and practice of RRI. Through collaborative activities using Responsible Innovation Prompts and Practice Cards with case studies, attendees gain knowledge and hands-on experience in systematically identifying responsibility challenges, reflect, and make action plans to ensure inclusive practices, foster ethical and responsible decision-making, and embed RRI in projects.
