Abstract

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18181 "Towards Accountable Systems", which took place from April 29th to May 4th, 2018, at Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. Researchers and practitioners from academia and industry were brought together covering broad fields from computer and information science, public policy and law. Many risks and opportunities were discussed that relate to the alignment of systems technologies with developing legal and regulatory requirements and evolving user expectations. This report summarises outcomes of the seminar by highlighting key future research directions and challenges that lie on the path to developing systems that better align with accountability concerns.
