Organisations are racing to embed AI into everyday life. But people don’t trust institutions and private enterprise to do this in a way that benefits them, and that’s a problem.

Regulating AI in the UK

Strengthening the UK's proposals for the benefit of people and society

The #AdaLovelaceInstitute's giant "Rethinking data and rebalancing digital power" report is a *banger* on this subject, covering interoperability, privacy, equity, information security and more, with superb contributions from @1br0wn and #JathanSadowski:

Rethinking data and rebalancing digital power

What is a more ambitious vision for data use and regulation that can deliver a positive shift in the digital ecosystem towards people and society?

Next was a nice panel on shifting the power in #data #ecosystems at the #AdaLovelaceInstitute with Carly Kind, @PaulNemitz, Jenna Slotin, Sushant Kumar, Mark Surman, and Valentina Pavel. The value of data is disproportionately captured by #companies, and this conversation proposes a raft of interventions to change that equation from the high level to the tactical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mCT7IAQq_U (6/8)

Next was an excellent talk by @dgrobinson on the history and enactment of donated organ allocation #algorithms and the implications for algorithms more broadly at the #AdaLovelaceInstitute. Long time readers will recall an earlier talk on this topic by Robinson, and as with that talk this one absolutely delivered. Such an important, rich example that folks in #business in #tech need to learn about. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL-m02wz7Po (5/6)

Their working group points to at least 4 required actions to look into:

1. Transforming infrastructure into open and interoperable ecosystems
2. Reclaiming control of data from dominant companies
3. Rebalancing the centres of power with new (non-commercial) institutions
4. Ensuring public participation as an essential component of technology policymaking
