Recently, value chain accountability has emerged as a key challenge for AI governance. Transparency of information is key to enabling accountability and building trust. Article 13 of the EU AI Act provides the requirement of transparency and provision of information for high-risk AI systems. However, we have yet to operationalise the process for information sharing through the value chain.

At this roundtable, we will hear from those at the forefront of AI regulation and standards in Europe, together with wider perspectives on the need for standardisation of information sharing between those in the AI value chain to support both transparency and regulatory conformity.

At this event we will hear from representatives of both UK government and the UK standards body, BSI, together with leading experts in the field of AI governance.

The so-called ‘godfathers’ of AI, Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun are deeply divided as to whether AI is a major threat to humanity, or conversely, whether it’s an enabling technology to transform society for the better. We have two leading experts, Dr Bertie Müller, Chair of AISB, and Calum Chace, author of Surviving AI, to discuss the likelihood of these possible AI outcomes.

We then consider whether these developments have changed policy makers’ thinking or approach to AI regulation. Has the focus on foundation models and the possibility of some kind of AGI shifted the focus away from the real AI being deployed now?

This event took place at the offices of 2021.AI in Copenhagen. We had some great speakers and enjoyed a lively discussion on the benefits of frameworks and technical tools to operationalise AI assurance. See event details for full video.

As regulatory approaches to AI and its applications firm up, attention is turning to operational challenges. How do we ensure AI value chains function smoothly? How do we build confidence in cybersecurity? How do we get the right standards while encouraging innovation? See event details for full report.

Join us at ‘AI Governance and Assurance Global Trends 2022’ in Milan where Catriona Gray will present our recent report - a current snapshot of the most important global trends in AI policy and governance.

Find out what these trends mean in practice. Hear from industrialists how current and planned regulation impacts their industries, and join the discussion on operationalising AI governance and assurance.

We were pleased to host AI Assurance and Industry 4.0, a roundtable discussion at which experts from government, industry, and academia offered insights on measures to increase trust, innovation, and competitiveness. See event details for a synopsis and full video.

The AI Assurance Club kicked off last month in London with AI Assurance: the State of Play, at which speakers from industry and government discussed the current state of play in AI. Key themes included the importance of a coherent standards landscape, the need to avoid the pitfalls of GDPR, and the value of a global perspective on AI governance.
