The UK government will provide businesses with a new platform to help assess and mitigate the risks posed by artificial intelligence, as it seeks to be the global leader in testing the safety of the novel technology.
The platform, launched on Wednesday, will bring together guidance and practical resources for businesses to use to carry out impact assessments and evaluations of new AI technologies, and review the data underpinning machine learning algorithms to check for bias.
Science and tech secretary Peter Kyle said these resources would give “businesses the support and clarity they need to use AI safely and responsibly while also making the UK a true hub of AI assurance expertise”.
