Implementing Responsible Research Innovation Prompts and Practice Cards in a Project Investigating Instantaneous Trust.

We reflect on our experience in the conceptualization and implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in an exploratory research project funded by the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Hub. In this paper, we report the narratives captured during a series of focused discussions with the project team and the industry partners using RRI Prompts and Practice Cards (PPC) as a tool to guide the discussion. Inspired by agile software development, we propose an agile-like RRI model for embedding RRI in exploratory research that supplements future growth, while ensuring a human-centred and ethical approach. Such an iterative model promotes continuous RRI focus, sensitivity and consideration for all stakeholders, minimising compromises and risks, whilst fostering team-wide well-being and research validity throughout the research life cycle.
