Regulation for technology developments in robotics and artificial intelligence is commonly seen as one of the important yet structurally neglected fields in research and political debate. This was highlighted in 2017 by the European Parliament report and a public consultation, indicating that a vast majority of citizens in Europe is regarding those developments as positive innovation fields but where further safeguards and regulations are needed (EP Resolution on Civil Law Rules on Robotics, 2015/2103(INL): Rapporteur Mady Delvaux). The workshop is directed at discussing the state of the art within the field of transportation, supply chain management and logistics as well as evaluating possible actions like regulation, agency- or industry-based approaches for establishing safeguards towards effective but risk-mitigating settings for this sector. This workshop will bring together academics and sector experts to discuss in a roundtable format. Three moderated sessions will address the crucial aspects of

  1. the state of the art of AI in transportation, SCM and logistics,
  2. the human factor, and
  3. future options.

Besides the open discussion regarding this new topic in research and practice, exchange among participants is also aimed at cooperation perspectives like

  • possible joint research grant proposals (e.g. HORIZON 2020 or other international calls),
  • a topical special issue of Network Industries Quarterly (6/2018, LINK) as contribution option,
  • a possible SI for an academic journal as a long-term publication option (e.g. JCRNI, IJL).

Participants from different disciplines in academia, politics, advisory as well as practice are welcome.

Discussions will be moderated by EUI Visiting Fellow Prof Matthias Klumpp and Prof Juan Montero.
