Public Policy Programme || The Alan Turing Institute

📢 Children’s AI Summit, February 4th 2025 at Queen Mary University of London Next year we’re bringing together children from across the UK to share their messages for global leaders, policymakers, and AI developers on what the future of AI should look like. Putting children’s voices and children’s experiences centre stage, the Summit will explore how AI impacts children today, and how children want to shape its future. Children are the group most impacted by advances in AI. Yet they are the most underrepresented group in decision-making processes relating to AI's design, development, and deployment, as well as the policy-making and regulatory discussions around it. That needs to change. That’s why ahead of the Paris AI Action Summit in February 2025, children will gather to share their views on what should be on the agenda in Paris. 🌟 Find out more: bit.ly/ChildrensAISummit #ResponsibleAI #ChildrenAndAI

"In general AI will support people in work, rather than causing massive job losses." Head of Online Safety and AI for Public Services Jonathan Bright spoke to ITN Business as part of their series "AI & Big Data: Empowering Tomorrow" on AI adoption across the workforce, and developing responsible AI systems that work for all. https://lnkd.in/eKGjTCdQ #AI #LLMs #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics

Tonight we're celebrating the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace! We've invited three data scientists - you've guessed it, they're all women - to discuss the question 'Can AI Be Fair?'. In conversation with BBC's Rebecca Kesby, Professor Judy Wajcman from the Alan Turing Institute, Professor Anna Baldycheva FHEA FRMS, and Associate Professor Ekaterina Hertog will chat about how we can ensure that AI is working for all of us rather than against some of us. This event is for the Joint Centre for Excellence in Environmental Intelligence. We can't wait to hear your comments and questions at Exeter Phoenix this evening. #adalovelaceday #aiethics #panelconversation #exeter

📢 LLMs are ever more convincing, with important consequences for election disinformation In a new blogpost, Senior Data Scientist Angus Williams explores new research from the Online Safety team showing that Large Language Models can consistently generate high-quality content for election disinformation operations.

Smera Jayadeva joined the Centre for Digital Public Services / Canolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol last week to discuss how the public sector can put ethical values and principles into practice across AI project lifecycles through our AI Ethics & Governance in Practice Programme.

"No adult today has experienced growing up in a world with Generative AI, so children really are the only experts in the ways that children interact with these technologies. They need to be part of the conversation to ensure that policies or regulations developed are based on understandings of children's actual needs and experiences." 🤝 Meet our Children & AI team, Mhairi Aitken, Morgan Briggs and Sabeehah M., whose work seeks to advance child-centred approaches to AI by putting children’s rights and voices at the heart of its design, development, deployment and governance. 🚸 Engaging directly with children is at the centre of their approach. Since 2022, the team have been collaborating with the Children's Parliament and Scottish AI Alliance to partner with schools and directly engage children aged 8–12, to explore children’s relationships with AI, and how they want to be involved in shaping its future. 🌏 They have collaborated with UNICEF to pilot their policy guidance on AI for children, and with the Council of Europe's Steering Committee on the Rights of the Child to map existing legal frameworks addressing children’s rights in the context of AI.

I had the privilege of attending the 11th plenary of the Committee of Artificial Intelligence (CAI) at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg this month. The discussions centered around further developing the #HUDERIA, an impact assessment grounded in socio-technical considerations presenting a framework for a comprehensive risk and impact assessment of #AI systems, focusing on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. This framework is a step forward in responsible innovation, where technology serves humanity without compromising ethical standards.

It was a great pleasure to speak at this excellent event on AI, governance and democracy here in beautiful Brasilia - and to learn something of how these issues are being approached in Brazil.

Excited to be sharing the results of some of our recent work at The Alan Turing Institute, Public Policy Programme || The Alan Turing Institute! We explore how effective LLMs are for election disinformation operations, presenting a new eval to measure compliance with disinformation generation prompts, and experiments evaluating how well humans can discern AI-generated and human-written disinformation. Thanks to my co-authors for a massive team effort to bring this all together!
