AI and Public Standards Silicon UK Tech News

As AI – notably, Machine Learning continues to expand, government departments will increasingly use this technology to deliver advanced services to the public. In their recent report Committee on Standards in Public Life concluded: "Our message to government is that the UK's regulatory and governance framework for AI in the public sector remains a work in progress and deficiencies are notable. "The work of the Office for AI, the Alan Turing Institute, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI), and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) are all commendable. But on the issues of transparency and data bias, in particular, there is an urgent need for practical guidance and enforceable regulation." In addition: "This review found that the Nolan Principles are strong, relevant, and do not need reformulating for AI. The Committee heard that they are principles of good governance that have stood, and continue to stand, the test of time.
