Governance of artificial intelligence (AI)

Inquiry

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has increased significantly in recent years. It offers a range of potential benefits such as quicker analysis of large datasets allowing more accurate information, forecasts and predictions, and more personalised public services. However, there are a number of concerns, such as the possibility of biased algorithms, a lack of transparency and unexplained decision-making. The Government is expected to publish a white paper on AI governance later this year to address these issues.

The Committee will examine the effectiveness of AI governance and the Government’s proposals.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 25 November 2022.
