Innovate UK BridgeAI: Operationalising the UK's AI regulation principles through standards
Join us on 29 February for an interactive webinar in which researchers from The Alan Turing Institute’s AI Governance and Regulatory Innovation team share insights from their research mapping and assessing the relevance of standards for operationalising the UK’s AI regulation white paper principles.
New blogpost: assessing the relevance of standards for operationalising the UK’s AI white paper principles
The Turing’s AI Standards Hub research team are undertaking an ongoing project assessing the role and relevance of standards for supporting UK regulators to interpret and apply the UK cross-sector AI principles in regulatory guidance. This blog explains the motivations for the project and provides an overview of the research.
Further detailing of UK’s AI regulatory approach provided in government’s consultation response
The UK Government has published its response to the AI Regulation White Paper consultation, including the announcement of new funding, initial guidance for regulators, and a longer-term view towards binding rules for the most advanced general-purpose AI systems.
Analysing the UK Government’s response to public consultation on its AI regulation white paper
Chris Thomas, Research Associate at The Alan Turing Institute, considers important developments emerging from the UK Government's response to their AI Regulation White Paper consultation, including highlighting the role of the AI Standards Hub.
The standard ISO/IEC DIS 42005 provides guidance on how organisations can develop and integrate impact assessment processes when developing, providing, or using AI systems. It is open for comment until March 26th.
New work on the use of AI in recruitment and employment
The AI Standards Hub is kicking off a research and engagement workstream led by Turing researchers, which will focus on the use of AI in recruitment and employment. Bringing together UK and European stakeholders, this project aims to investigate the role that consensus-based standards can play in advancing cross-jurisdictional coherence on the responsible use of AI in recruitment and employment contexts.
Recording available for Innovate UK BridgeAI: AI governance – Key UK Government initiatives and future direction
You can now watch a recording of this webinar on key Government initiatives and future directions in AI governance. Led by DSIT's Ellie Sweet (Head of AI Regulation Strategy, Engagement and Consultation) and Nikita Bhangu (Head of Digital Standards Policy), the webinar explores the knowledge needed to understand the UK AI governance ecosystem in relation to recent developments.
