Abstract
Autonomous systems have the promise to address many of our societal
challenges in a variety of areas: healthcare, climate, and economic growth,
are a few examples. To realise this potential, these systems need to be
trustworthy. In this paper, we describe research carried out by a UK
consortium to address a central issue in establishing trustworthiness:
verifiability. We explain the issues for verification that arise due to
autonomy: concerns with beneficiality as well as reliability, heterogeneous
artefacts and techniques, multi-disciplinary stakeholders. We also describe our vision for tackling these issues, and our progress so far.
