Special Edition: Safety of Artificial Intelligence

How can we ensure that machines and systems taking decisions and actions previously taken by a human do so safely and as expected? How can we assure the safety of a machine that learns while it is in operation and who is responsible when a machine makes a decision that causes harm? Dr Ana MacIntosh and Professor John McDermid, from the Assuring Autonomy International Programme at the University of York, explore these questions and more in a special edition of The Story of Things.
