AI STRATEGY
“ The government could consider establishing a set of principles by which AI systems must operate , similar to that of GDPR ”
HARVEY LEWIS ASSOCIATE PARTNER AND CHIEF DATA SCIENTIST , EY Of the second pillar he commented : “ The strategy identifies the main barriers to progress as access to data , infrastructure and talent . Recent EY research highlights just how acute these challenges are for SMEs . For example , in the region 90 % of large organisations have already adopted AI or plan to do so soon , but this falls to around 48 % for SMEs .”
In terms of pillar three , Lewis suggests : “ The government could consider establishing a set of principles by which AI systems must operate , similar to GDPR . It could also identify key roles and who should be held accountable for compliance . The focus on regulating the operation , not just development of AI systems is key .” Lewis concluded ensuring outputs and outcomes are fair , transparent , ethical and safe , would help the UK pivot from a ‘ risk-first ’ approach to that of ‘ opportunity first ’.
