Details

This guide has been written by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to help the people we work with think about how we assure AI and autonomous systems. We work with our partners and suppliers to deliver research on AI and autonomy, and aim to understand how we can responsibly and safely apply these techniques to a wide range of defence and security challenges.

This guide explains how we work out how confident we are about the safety and trustworthiness of a system or algorithm, and how we describe and communicate our findings.

It is one of a series of biscuit books, designed to be dipped into and easily digested - just like a biscuit with tea.
