<p>The government is committed to harnessing the potential of emerging technology,
including artificial intelligence. 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>
