Last year we experienced an accelerated growth in the use of data and data driven technologies, such as AI, algorithms and machine learning, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, as businesses continue to find new opportunities for adopting and deploying AI, algorithms and machine learning, it is vital that the use of this technology is managed effectively, ethically, securely and in accordance with regulatory requirements– in particular in relation to the use of personal data that deploying AI systems and algorithms so often necessitates.

Have you considered how to explain to customers or clients how their personal data is being used in relation to such technologies, and the basis on which decisions are being made in relation to them? Is your Board fully briefed on all the implications of such technology, particularly if something were to go wrong and need explaining publicly? 

In our second webinar, jointly hosted by techUK and Travers Smith, and chaired by Baroness Nicky Morgan, our panellists will discuss the factors that businesses should consider when deploying algorithms, the legal and other risks they face, and how these can be mitigated through an effective audit and compliance framework. The panel will consider:

  • What laws and regulations apply to the use by a business of AI and algorithms to make decisions?
  • What tools, techniques, and processes can businesses use to put in place an effective compliance and auditing structure in relation to their use of AI and algorithms? What role can AI technology itself play as an auditing tool?
  • How should businesses strike a balance between competing ethical principles, such as transparency and privacy?
  • How do you effectively put into practice the ICO’s AI Auditing Framework? Is further guidance or support necessary for businesses? Hear about the ICO's plans for an AI risk toolkit, and what this might include? 
  • How can businesses best prepare for the future developments in AI assurance and auditing? Are we doing enough to make this a board-level priority?

Our panel of speakers consists of:

Baroness Nicky Morgan - former Digital Secretary, now a consultant at Travers Smith (Chair) 

James Longster – IP and Technology partner at Travers Smith LLP

Shawn Curran, Head of Legal Technology at Travers Smith LLP

Maria Axente, Responsible AI and AI for Good Lead at PwC

Alister Pearson, Senior Policy Officer, ICO

The webinar will finish with the opportunity to pose questions to our panel.
