Abstract

Machines powered by artificial intelligence increasingly mediate our social, cultural, economic and political interactions. Understanding the behaviour of artificial intelligence systems is essential to our ability to control their actions, reap their benefitsand minimize their harms. Here we argue that this necessitates a broad scientific research agenda to study machine behaviour that incorporatesand expands upon the discipline of computer science and includes insights from across the sciences. We first outline a set of questions that are fundamental to this emerging field and then explore the technical, legal and institutional constraints onthe study of machine behaviour.
