The UK Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) released its 2019/20 Work Programme and Two-year strategy to enhance the benefits of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the UK society and economy on 20 March 2019.
What’s in scope?
CDEI is an advisory body founded by the UK government and is led by an independent board of experts. For the next two years, CDEI plans to shape a policy, regulatory and cultural environment in the UK that promotes constructive and ethical innovation in data and AI-driven technology. CDEI benefits from a prime spot to use the know-how and expertise of the UK, a country recognised as a global leader in data-enabled technology.
Under its two-year strategy, CDEI’s main objectives are to:
a. Promote policy and governance that enables data-driven technology to improve people’s lives;
b. Ensure the public’s views inform the governance of data-driven technology;
c. Ensure the governance of data-driven technology can safely support its rapid development (this means not only addressing issues from recent years but also continuing to be alert to emerging problems); and
d. Foster effective partnerships between civil society, government, research organisations and industry players.Continue Reading UK’s two-year strategy to boost data and AI
