The UK government has delayed until summer publication of its AI Bill, a new law intended to regulate AI, following on from the EU AI Act which came into force last year.
In July, 17 organisations signed an open letter to the UK Home Secretary calling for an end to ‘predictive’ policing systems as part of the #SafetyNotSurveillance coalition.
With an AI Bill expected in 2025, we're ready to fight pre-crime systems that exacerbate racism and undermine our right to be presumed innocent.
The #SafetyNotSurveillance coalition – a group of organisations working at the intersections of human rights, racial justice and technology – have written to the Home Secretary calling for safeguards against the harms of AI systems in policing, including an outright ban on predictive policing and biometric surveillance systems.
