The techUK podcast - Digital ethics spotlight with insights from KPMG
As a follow-up to techUK's flagship Digital Ethics Summit, we are pleased to deliver a series of podcasts that dive deeper into the conversations started at the 2023 Digital Ethics Summit and will continue at the 2024 event. In the latest podcast, Tess Buckley, the programme manager for digital ethics and AI safety at techUK, hosts a session with three distinguished experts from KPMG: Leanne Allen, Isabel Simpson, and Caroline Rivett.
Leanne Allen delves into the critical realm of digital ethics, exploring why digital ethics is pivotal in AI innovation and the role trust plays in AI implementation. Furthermore, they discuss active measures to prevent biases in AI implementation.
Next, Isabel Simpson provides a broader view of AI regulation and the role of regulators. The discussion examines the implications of the government's response to the AI White Paper and the EU AI Act, assesses if regulators have struck the right balance between innovation and regulation, and identifies countries excelling in managing this delicate equilibrium.
Lastly, Caroline Rivett explores opportunities for ethical AI in life sciences, uncovering current applications of AI in this field and exploring the intersection of regulation and innovation. The conversation includes strategies for building trust with patients and consumers in healthcare and life sciences.
Listen to the conversation to hear practical insights into how government and industry can better collaborate to ensure data and AI are at the heart of a smarter state.
