Professor Peter Lee
Professor of Applied Ethics and Associate Dean for Research in the University of Portsmouth Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. My research has spanned the ethical, operational and other human aspects of UK Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (drone) operations, the ethics of AI and autonomous systems, and moral injury and mental harms in military and police personnel.
In April 2023 I commenced a collaborative EPSRC-funded project to create a Trustworthy Autonomous Robotic Drone System to Support Battlefield Casualty Triage, while in 2024 I was part of an ASIS-funded collaborative project entitled, ‘Autonomous Vehicles: Opportunities, Threats and Challenges'. I am a member of the UK Ministry of Defence Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy Ethics Advisory Panel.
