Great development. Does this mean GovAI will start inputting to more government consultations on AI and algorithms? The UK gov recently published a call for input on its AI regulation strategy—is GovAI planning to respond to it? On the regulation area—there’s a lot of different areas of regulation (financial, content, communication infra, data protection, competition and consumer law), and the UK gov is taking a decentralised approach, relying on individual regulators’ areas of expertise rather than creating a central body. How will GovAI stay on top of these different subject matter areas?
We’ve already started to do more of this. Since May, we’ve responded to 3 RFIs and similar (you can find them here: https://www.governance.ai/research): the NIST AI Risk Management Framework; the US National AI Research Resource interim report; and the UK Compute Review. We’re likely to respond to the AI regulation policy paper. Though we’ve already provided input to this process via Jonas Schuett and I being on-loan to the Brexit Opportunities Unit to think about these topics for a few months this spring.
I think we’ll struggle to build expertise in all of these areas, but we’re likely to add more of it over time and build networks that allow us to input in these other areas should we find doing so promising.
