AI and Ethics in Manufacturing: How AI can be Accepted by Humans in Manufacturing

Artificial Intelligence is entering many different sectors, not least manufacturing. The collection of large quantities of data can generate powerful outcomes, as AI  can influence not only processes and products but also how people work and interact with each other. Furthermore, AI can acquire sensible data, which could influence people’s behaviour by implementing logic and decisional processes that are not fully transparent to humans. 

These aspects are controversial, stimulating debates and requests for regulations, codes of conduct, and standards, in addition to greater demand for trust and transparency for any AI-driven service. 

The scope of this workshop covered the experience of developers, end users, standardization and legal experts.
