How data protection reform can be used to address AI-bias
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology, enabling industry and society at large to reimagine how we solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges, improve products and services for consumers and citizens, and innovate.
The UK is one of the global leaders in AI technology, ranking third in the world for AI publication citations per capita and the third highest number of AI companies in the world after China and the US. Since 2014, the UK Government has invested more than £2.3 billion in AI across a range of industries including healthcare, autonomous vehicles, finance, and academia.
In September 2021, the Government published its National AI Strategy to mark the start of a step-change in use of AI in the UK, recognising the potential for the technology to help drive productivity, growth, and innovation for the UK economy. techUK eagerly awaits the Government’s forthcoming White Paper on AI Governance, which will provide industry with more concrete guidance on the development and deployment of AI.
