📣Thrilled to see our short, qualitative project with the @ODIHQ published. This research helped us see some of the broad shapes and patterns of the #tech and #data ecosystem and its relationships to #ethics tools in this moment.
The next generation of data ethics tools Just published: new research by @consequentialri for the ODI on the current state – and future – of data ethics / responsible data tools Learn more: hubs.li/H0PdbyB0 #ethics #dataethics #responsibletech

@dotprojectcoop share their research which looked to map the ethical tech ecosystem in the UK with @consequentialri, @thedataplace & @noisycricketorg. Their learning also captures some of the biggest ethical tech questions we face today → bristolbathcreative.org/arti… (12/12)

What does an ethical community of practice look like? We worked with @consequentialri @thedataplace & @noisycricketorg to find out by mapping tech ecosystems across the UK. In this blog we share our learnings, and invite you to get involved ⬇️ ow.ly/kbU650JhZFy

We loved supporting the @PMStudioUK explore the future of their collaboration. As with all of our engagements we learned so much that we are bringing into our next engagements. Thx @JoannaLansdowne for the generous shoutout.
Alex and Sam from @consequentialri have been helping the @PMStudioUK partners think about the future of our collaboration. Experts in the dynamics of projects like ours and hugely insightful facilitators of process - can’t recommend them highly enough consequential.org.uk/about

Absolutely LOVE this metaphor for being an entreprenuer, and also for responsible innovation😍
This metaphor from @NoraBateson this morning: “Everyone wants to be told how to ride the bike” — you just want people to tell you how to ride a bike. But it’s impossible — and then you learn — and you find it impossible to explain to someone else. #Metaphor #ThatsWhatsAMetasFor

Really excited to be talking about applying ethics within an organisation today and having a great conversation about the relevancy of ethics as you start to use data 🎉
Today we're diving into the world of data ethics and the innovative best practice of responsible technology at #10datadays. We'll hear from @UKStatsAuth @consequentialri @altrishaw @beyondreach_co. There's still time to join our remaining 3 events here: housemark.co.uk/products/eve…

This is something we'll also be paying a lot of attention to in the next few months. Thanks @Reema__Patel and the team at stats UK!
Thoughtful blog from @AdaLovelaceInst Associate Director @Reema__Patel responding to the Centre for Applied Data Ethics’ draft ethics guidance on considering public views and engagement in research and statistics projects.

Thank you @AdaLovelaceInst for your take on the #NationalAIStrategy, and for pointing out that there are still big questions to be tackled in the UK regulatory space:
Replying to @AdaLovelaceInst
The questions that still need to be answered are huge: 🔹What should the goal of AI regulation be? 🔹Do AI systems require bespoke regulation, or can the regulation of these systems be wrapped into broader digital technology regulatory package? 7/10

Thank you @ODIHQ for your take on the #NationalAIStrategy, and for all the chuckles this morning.
Replying to @ODIHQ
(4/14) Developed by the @OfficeForAI, straddling @DCMS and @BEISgovuk, the strategy is described as a 10-year plan, but is more realistic in only spelling out actions for the next 3, 6 and 12+ months. After all, the future has not been written...

In June 2021 the Turing, working alongside the #UKAICouncil, conducted an online survey which sought to gather the views of the AI ecosystem to inform @OfficeforAI's development of its National AI Strategy. Read the report summarising the survey responses bit.ly/3ySwJvH

Critical Questioning over Rigid Rituals: Critical questioning isn’t about slowing down development, but rather about inserting healthy friction with the goal of creating the best possible product. There’s explicit value in questioning the product within a team environment.
