AI Barometer

 

The CDEI has published its AI Barometer, a major analysis of the most pressing opportunities, risks, and governance challenges associated with AI and data use in the UK, initially across five sectors (including Criminal Justice, Financial Services, Health & Social Care, Digital & Social Media and Energy & Utilities).

The key findings

• The AI Barometer highlights the potential for AI and data-driven technology to address society’s greatest challenges
• Some opportunities are easier to realise than others
• Harder to achieve’ innovations, in contrast, involve the use of AI and data in high stakes domains that often require difficult trade-offs
• Several barriers stand in the way of addressing risks and maximising the benefits of AI and data
• Three types of barrier merit close attention: low data quality and availability; a lack of coordinated policy and practice; and a lack of transparency around AI and data use.
