On 2 December, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, together with The Alan Turing Institute, have launched a consultation on its joint guidance which aims to give organisations practical advice to help explain the processes, services and decisions delivered or assisted by AI, to the individuals affected by them. Increasingly, organisations are using artificial intelligence (AI) to support, or to make decisions about individuals. The consultation closes on 24 January. In the UK, ICO is responsible for overseeing data protection in the UK, and The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence.
