A classification system by the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF): “… that supports a visual representation of the evolving human-machine collaboration in research, design and publications.
Described in detail in our white paper, our aim is to support transparency in research and provide – at a glance – a standard mechanism that allows readers, researchers and decision-makers to see the extent to which research outputs have been shaped by machines, i.e. a process based approach. While we recognise that research, design and publications in the future may increasingly rely on autonomous processes, this shift may not be uniformly applied across all contexts, fields, functions and industries during the transitional period, a time frame that may last a couple of years or up to (and perhaps even longer than) 10 years.
Effective from the date of the white paper, every DFF research report will display respective icons for human-machine collaboration, demonstrating our commitment to transparency and establishing a new standard for ethical research practices…(More)”
