May 16, 2022 Steven Scott

This episode of Turing’s Triple Helix is a recording of a discussion organised by the Centre for Technomoral Futures.

The European Union and the Scottish government have each expressed commitments to fostering responsible and ethical AI development.

What opportunities and obstacles lie ahead on that path?
What new alliances and governance cultures are needed to bring the ideal of ‘Responsible AI’ into existence?
How can we build and sustain these by bridging the technical and moral demands of responsible AI innovation and governance?
