Responsible AI: balancing growth, safety and public sector productivity

As governments and industries alike look to harness AI’s transformative potential, the challenge is clear: how to balance technological advancement with safety, ethics, and public trust. Secretary of State for DSIT Peter Kyle has already announced his intention to introduce legislation which will place requirements on those companies working on the most powerful artificial intelligence models. 

Regulators have a critical role to play in applying frameworks that not only foster innovation but also safeguard against unintended risks. A collaborative approach involving policymakers, industry leaders, and technologists will be key to promoting an AI ecosystem that drives economic growth while enhancing public services. 

Meanwhile, AI is already being used to drive efficiency in the public sector, from predictive analytics in healthcare to automating routine administrative tasks. Yet, with this comes the need to ensure that AI is responsibly developed, transparent, and aligned with societal values. 

Re:State is delighted to welcome Stephen Almond, Executive Director, Regulatory Risk, Information Commissioner’s Office to explore the challenges for regulators in balancing innovation and privacy, to ensure AI serves the public good in a competitive global market.
