You can read the Case Study following the link: Case  Study 2: Bringing ELSI Principles and Creative Methods to National Highways.

A co-created physical & digital resource for organisations to conduct ethical impact self-assessment for the design and/or adoption of new autonomous technologies. This toolkit is designed for independent facilitation of workshop and reflective activities, which allow organisations working with autonomous technologies to critically assess the ethical and security impacts of their work. This will help create space for complex conversations about wider effects of autonomous technologies of organisations and society, including users, publics, and environments. The toolkit aims to provide simple and accessible resources for organisations to use to host 1 – 3 internal workshops with staff around relevant themes. Each workshop includes a facilitation guide, supported by resources.

The link to the website hosting the demo: Encoding Social Values in Autonomous Navigation: An Interactive Online Demonstration.

This website contains five demos, Baseline Scenario, Encoding Overview, Demo 1, Demo 2, Demo 3, and Demo 4, presenting how autonomous system developers encode ELSI (ethical, legal and social impact) principles into the decision-making process of autonomous systems.

The methodologies demonstrated on the website are the main contributions of our conference publication in The Second Trustworthy Autonomous System Symposium 2024 in Austin, Texas, US. The publication title is: “Encoding Social & Ethical Values in Autonomous Navigation: Philosophies Behind and an Interactive Online Demonstration
