AI & Big Data Expo: Ethics and governance take center stage

ETHICS, GOVERNANCE AND DATA FOR GOOD AT THE AI & BIG DATA EXPO

Artificial intelligence and big data are now mainstream and embedded in many tech conferences. The AI & Big Data Expo in London showcased how AI and data impact various sectors.

The event featured talks on ethics and governance, which are important to discuss and implement in AI strategies. Governments are playing catch up in regulating AI, which is challenging but necessary. Regulation and legislation around AI are complex issues as technology develops rapidly.

For charities, safeguarding data and managing risks are key when using AI tools that handle sensitive information. Irresponsible AI can have damaging consequences, so tech leaders must demonstrate ethical approaches and establish guardrails.
