KPMG - AI Insights

On Wednesday 6 December 2023, techUK and partners will bring together world leading academics, philosophers, lawyers, technology experts, policy makers and other key stakeholders at techUK’s seventh Digital Ethics Summit.

According to KPMG’s latest CEO Outlook almost a quarter (22%) of UK CEOs said the top benefit of implementing the use of generative AI in their organisation was increased profitability, followed by new product and market growth opportunities (19%) and increased innovation (17%). Despite a willingness to push forward with their investments, global CEOs cited ethical challenges as their number one concern in terms of the implementation of generative AI.

KPMG takes a responsible approach to assessing the ethics, governance and security in place around clients’ AI and machine learning technologies. The set of frameworks, controls, processes and tools can help KPMG’s clients harness the power of AI —designing, building and deploying AI systems in a safe, trustworthy and ethical manner —so companies can accelerate value for consumers, organisations and society. Our responsible AI approach ensures:

  • Fairness: Models are equitable and focused on mitigating societal bias.
  • Explainability: AI can be understood, documented and open for review.
  • Accountability: Mechanisms are in place to drive responsibility across the AI lifecycle.
  • Data integrity: Data quality, governance and enrichment steps embed trust.
  • Reliability: AI systems perform at the desired level of precision and consistency.
  • Security: Safeguard against unauthorized access, corruption or attacks.
  • Privacy: Compliance with data privacy regulations and consumer data usage.
  • Safety: AI doesn’t negatively impact humans, property or the environment.

Our people-centred approach to AI focuses on minimizing bias in AI and ensuring that people are considered in the use of AI.
