Abstract

Conventional wisdom has it that trustworthy autonomous systems (AS) should be explainable, dependable, controllable and safe tools for humans to use. Reflecting on a portfolio of artistic applications of TAS leads us adopt an alternative stance and to propose five provocative challenges for AS: that they should look beyond failure to improvisation, beyond explainability to interpretation, beyond control to surrender, beyond caution to playfulness and beyond being tools to becoming co-creators. We reflect on how these challenges imply new considerations of trustworthiness in terms of artistic competence, sincerity and steadfastness, and of responsible innovation in terms of responsible irresponsibility that empowers humans to playfully explore the human-like qualities and boundaries of the technologies.
