Bryan Glick, ComputerWeekly.com; The UK can and must be a world leader in ethical regulation of the digital revolution
"Nigel Shadbolt, one of the UK’s leading academics in AI
and open data, told Computer Weekly that if the UK wants to take a lead
in AI, then an area for focus is ethics. Realistically, the UK can’t
compete with the multibillions that China is throwing at the sector –
but China’s social and political culture is unlikely to take the same
approach to regulation and ethics as we would.
It’s an easy thing to say, much harder to do – but the UK has a unique opportunity to lead the world in ethical regulation
of the digital revolution. Don’t regulate on specifics – regulate on
values and principles that can underpin technology development for
years, maybe even decades to come.
The UK government is already setting up a Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, and Theresa May has called for the UK to be a world leader in ethical AI.
We have a genuine opportunity to set the standards that the world will
follow. In such uncertain times for the UK tech sector, ethics is one area where we can and must take the lead."
