AI Standards Hub launches in the UK
A new AI Standards Hub initiative has launched in the UK, aiming to improve how AI (artificial intelligence) is used across the economy.
The initiative was launched this week by the Alan Turing Institute in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Office for AI.
It has been formed as part of the National AI Strategy, a ten-year plan which aims to build on the UK’s strengths in AI, recognising its power in increasing resilience, productivity, growth and innovation across the private and public sectors.
The AI Standards Hub plans to bring together expertise and encourage collaboration between industry, regulators, civil society and academic researchers to shape the development of informed standards for the advancement of trustworthy and responsible AI in sectors such as healthcare, transport and finance.
“As artificial intelligence technologies play an increasingly crucial role across all sectors it’s vital that the development and use of these technologies adheres to commonly agreed and ethically sound standards,” said Sir Adrian Smith, director and chief executive of The Alan Turing Institute.
