<p>The Data Protection Act 2018 set new standards for protecting personal data, in
accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation. It imposed strict obligations
on organisations to ensure that personal data is processed safely and securely. Organisations
which fail to comply with the new legislation may be investigated by the Information
Commissioner’s Office and subject to substantial fines.</p><p> </p><p>All organisations
that process personal information must comply with data protection principles. One
of these principles states that organisations shall be fair, lawful and transparent
in the collection and use of personal data. That means all relevant organisations,
including providers of artificial intelligence technology, must clearly explain and
justify what they will be doing with personal information that they collect.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government has also recently set up the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation
to identify and address any gaps in the data and AI governance landscape, as and when
they emerge. The Centre will provide independent expert advice to Government on the
measures needed to enable and ensure safe, ethical and innovative use of data and
technology.</p>
