1. The document discusses two papers related to trust in autonomous technologies like self-driving cars and medical devices. The first paper examines how trust is built over time from predictability to dependability to reliability. It also discusses the importance of trust in the innovating firm.
2. The second paper studies how the appearance and level of autonomy of unmanned vehicles affects perceived safety, anthropomorphism, and social presence. It found that a more human-like appearance and higher autonomy increased similarity to humans and positively impacted these factors.
3. Both papers emphasize the importance of operational safety, understandability, trialability, and balance between user control and system autonomy for gaining user trust in autonomous technologies.

Understand why facial coding is the best tool for market research efforts if you’re looking to send an on-emotion message. With facial coding, every emotion can be picked apart on a precise and scientific level. Do you want to know if people will be frustrated or dislike your product? Do you know the difference between the two emotions and what they mean? Facial coding gives marketers the chance to accurately gauge valence, read what exact emotions people are feeling and determine whether or not they’re connecting on a visceral level.
How facial coding can slice through the ambiguity and misdirection of traditional market research procedures to learn what’s emotionally salient to people. With facial coding, the say/feel gap is exposed, and standard practices like verbatims and focus groups gain immense value by adding emotional depth.

In recent years Big Data, Data Science and AI has accelerated to point where technological systems are becoming more pervasive in our everyday lives. All aspects of society, work and industry are transforming in this 4th Industrial Revolution. Our personal data is now used to control our searches, news feeds and viewing recommendations. AI in healthcare is diagnosing disease, and proposing medical interventions. Facial recognition is granting us access, and monitoring our safety. Chat bots and automated agents are automatically handling our requests and vetting our applications.
With the increasing power of data and analytics comes responsibility. Our tech titans have gathered enormous power through collection of our personalised data. Recent failures have also highlighted how self-regulation has failed our data can be used weaponised against us, such as reflecting inherent racial biases or manipulating election outcomes.

A REVIEW OF THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN THE...IJCI JOURNAL
This study is focused on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence and its application in the United States, the
paper highlights the impact AI has in every sector of the US economy and multiple facets of the
technological space and the resultant effect on entities spanning businesses, government, academia, and
civil society. There is a need for ethical considerations as these entities are beginning to depend on AI for
delivering various crucial tasks, which immensely influence their operations, decision-making, and
interactions with each other. The adoption of ethical principles, guidelines, and standards of work is
therefore required throughout the entire process of AI development, deployment, and usage to ensure
responsible and ethical AI practices. Our discussion explores eleven fundamental 'ethical principles'
structured as overarching themes. These encompass Transparency, Justice, Fairness, Equity, NonMaleficence, Responsibility, Accountability, Privacy, Beneficence, Freedom, Autonomy, Trust, Dignity,
Sustainability, and Solidarity. These principles collectively serve as a guiding framework, directing the
ethical path for the responsible development, deployment, and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies across diverse sectors and entities within the United States. The paper also discusses the
revolutionary impact of AI applications, such as Machine Learning, and explores various approaches used
to implement AI ethics. This examination is crucial to address the growing concerns surrounding the
inherent risks associated with the widespread use of artificial intelligence.
New Report by Jessica Groopman
The digitalization of our physical world—what many are now calling the ‘Internet of
Things’—is challenging our expectations of privacy.
Adding sensors to ourselves, and to the objects and places around us, renders our
physical world communicable, contextual, and trackable. The full implications of
ubiquitous connectivity remain blurry, but Altimeter Group’s survey of 2,062 American
consumers makes one point crystal clear: Consumers are decidedly anxious about
how companies use and share data from their connected devices. Our research finds
a massive gulf between consumer awareness and industry practices when it comes
to privacy. But this data reveals more than a concerned citizenry, it reveals tremendous
opportunities for companies to foster more trusted customer relationships.

Learning from the People: Responsibly Encouraging Adoption of Contact Tracing...Elissa Redmiles
A growing number of contact tracing apps are being developed to complement manual contact tracing. Yet, for these technological solutions to benefit public health, users must be willing to adopt these apps. While privacy was the main consideration of experts at the start of contact tracing app development, privacy is only one of many factors in users' decision to adopt these apps. In this talk I showcase the value of taking a descriptive ethics approach to setting best practices in this new domain. Descriptive ethics, introduced by the field of moral philosophy, determines best practices by learning directly from the user -- observing people’s preferences and inferring best practice from that behavior -- instead of exclusively relying on experts' normative decisions. This talk presents an empirically-validated framework of the inputs that factor into a user's decision to adopt COVID19 contact tracing apps, including app accuracy, privacy, benefits, and mobile costs. Using predictive models of users' likelihood to install COVID apps based on quantifications of these factors, I show how high the bar is for these apps to achieve adoption and suggest user-driven directions for ethically encouraging adoption.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the core of the cascading scandals around AI in 2018 are questions of accountability: who is responsible when AI systems harm us? How do we understand these harms, and how do we
remedy them? Where are the points of intervention, and what additional research and regulation is needed to ensure those interventions are effective? Currently there are few answers to these questions, and the frameworks presently governing AI are not capable of ensuring accountability.
As the pervasiveness, complexity, and scale of these systems grow, the lack of meaningful accountability and oversight – including basic safeguards of responsibility, liability, and due
process – is an increasingly urgent concern.
Building on our 2016 and 2017 reports, the AI Now 2018 Report contends with this central problem and addresses the following key issues:
1. The growing accountability gap in AI, which favors those who create and deploy these technologies at the expense of those most affected
2. The use of AI to maximize and amplify surveillance, especially in conjunction with facial and affect recognition, increasing the potential for centralized control and oppression
3. Increasing government use of automated decision systems that directly impact individuals and communities without established accountability structures
4. Unregulated and unmonitored forms of AI experimentation on human populations
5. The limits of technological solutions to problems of fairness, bias, and discrimination
Within each topic, we identify emerging challenges and new research, and provide recommendations regarding AI development, deployment, and regulation. We offer practical
pathways informed by research so that policymakers, the public, and technologists can better understand and mitigate risks. Given that the AI Now Institute’s location and regional expertise is concentrated in the U.S., this report will focus primarily on the U.S. context, which is also where several of the world’s largest AI companies are based.
SANS 2013 Report on Critical Security Controls Survey: Moving From Awareness ...FireEye, Inc.
The law of unintended consequences strikes again. In an effort to address security risks in enterprise IT systems and the critical data in them, numerous security standards and requirement frameworks have emerged over the years. But most of these efforts have had the opposite effect — diverting organizations’ limited resources away from actual cyber defense toward reports and compliance.
Recognizing this serious problem, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in 2008 launched Critical Security Controls (CSCs), a prioritized list of controls likely to have the greatest impact in protecting organizations from evolving real-world threats. This SANS Institute survey of nearly 700 IT professionals across a range of industries examines how well the CSCs are known in government and industry and how they are being used.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

• Trialability : a strategy to enhance understanding.
Displaying technological progress and providing a visualization
of the concrete benefits, and thereby reducing perceived risk
• Usability : ease of use, an intuitive interface, balance between
control and autonomy

Anthropomorphism
: the attribution of humanlike characteristics to inanimate,
artificial agents such as computers and robots
Individuals mindlessly apply social rules and expectations when they interact with
23. Anthropomorphism and Social Presence
Increasing Humanness
23
Assigning anthropomorphic cues such as
agency, gender, and personality
is one way to make the quality of
human-robot interaction
more socially meaningful
= increasing trust
Human-like appearance and high
autonomy in an unmanned driving system
enhance the system’s similarity to humans

27. Takeaways
Findings on Semi-autonomous Vehicles and their Perceptions
27
How do we make semi-autonomous driving appear
more human than it is?
There needs to be a trialability factor
: how do we allow other drivers to predict, and ultimately
have faith in semi-autonomous vehicles
Finding the balance between control and autonomy
