A recent explosion in innovation has meant AI has become more popular and powerful. AI and automated decision-making, especially in the context of work and people, carries substantial risks and has the potential for unfairness and discrimination. This is particularly true where decision-making processes lack transparency and fairness. We hosted a panel discussion on Thursday 4 July to explore what this means for both companies developing AI technologies as well as organisations deploying it.
We were delighted to be joined by Lord Clement-Jones, the House of Lords Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology, Co-founder and Co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on AI and former Chair of the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. We were also pleased to be joined by Dee Masters from Cloisters Chambers, who was involved in drafting the TUC’s AI Bill, and Associate Director of Policy at techUK, Neil Ross, who works with members to shape UK tech policy. Bates Wells Partner, Eleonor Duhs, hosted the event.
