answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2020 answer text <p>Our future work related to attributable liability for mistakes of artificial intelligence services will be informed by independent expert advice. As part of its current work programme, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation is conducting a review into the potential for bias in the use of algorithms and will publish its report in March 2020.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Other measures include promoting a more ethical use of data within government. For example, one of the seven principles of the UK’s Data Ethics Framework is transparency about the tools, data and algorithms used to conduct work to enable greater scrutiny. The Framework encourages sharing models for algorithmic accountability and making data science tools available for scrutiny wherever possible.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Moreover, the Data Protection Act introduced the necessary safeguards such as the right to be informed of automated processing as soon as possible and the right to challenge an automated decision made by a data controller or processor.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 02/03/2020 17:06:44 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

We recognise the importance of strong ethical frameworks and guidance to ensure the appropriate use of data-driven technologies.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>That is why the UK launched the Data Ethics Framework in 2016, a practical guide for the public sector to the appropriate use of data to deliver high quality evidence for policy making and service design, and the first guidance of its kind. The Framework was developed through open collaboration across the government data science community, academia and civil society and is currently being updated to ensure that it remains a world-leading guide on the ethical use of data in the public sector.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government also established the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation in 2018, to provide independent, expert advice on the measures needed to enable and ensure safe, ethical and innovative uses of artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies. This includes advising on how we address potential gaps in our regulatory landscape, and identifying best practice for the responsible use of data and artificial intelligence through engagement with industry bodies, public service providers and consumers to coordinate world-leading standards and codes of conduct.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK already benefits from a world-class regulatory regime, and the Centre will build on this by making sure we understand and respond to the rapidly evolving way in which data is impacting our lives.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 13/02/2020 16:44:46 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
