Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications can and do have unintended negative consequences for businesses if not implemented with care. Specifically, faulty or biased AI applications risk compliance and governance breaches and damage to the corporate brand. These issues commonly arise from a number of pitfalls associated with AI development, which include rushed development, a lack of technical understanding, and improper quality assurance, among other factors.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications can and do have unintended negative consequences for businesses if not implemented with care. Specifically, faulty or biased AI applications risk compliance and governance breaches and damage to the corporate brand. These issues commonly arise from a number of pitfalls associated with AI development, which include rushed development, a lack of technical understanding, and improper quality assurance, among other factors.
To mitigate these risks, a growing number of organisations are working on ethical AI principles and frameworks. However, ethical AI principles alone are not sufficient for ensuring responsible AI usage in enterprises. Businesses also require strong, mandated governance controls including tools for managing processes and creating associated audit trails to enforce their principles.
Businesses that implement strong governance frameworks, overseen by an ethics board and strengthened with appropriate training, will reduce the risks associated with AI. When applied to AI modelling, the governance will also make it easier for businesses to bring their AI deployments to scale. Show less

From faster and cheaper drug trials to fully “conscious” cities, digital replicas exploiting the power of AI are changing the face and pace of innovation.

This collection of stories, including "Sisters" by myself, explore the ways that artificial intelligence and related technologies may affect the future of work and society. At the moment, no-one can predict exactly what will happen, but it seems very likely that people will need to retrain and change jobs more often. Looking further ahead, we may need to work out how to make technological unemployment a very positive outcome, and with that in mind, this book has twice as many positive stories… Show more

This collection of stories, including "Sisters" by myself, explore the ways that artificial intelligence and related technologies may affect the future of work and society. At the moment, no-one can predict exactly what will happen, but it seems very likely that people will need to retrain and change jobs more often. Looking further ahead, we may need to work out how to make technological unemployment a very positive outcome, and with that in mind, this book has twice as many positive stories as negative ones. All proceeds from this book will go to the Economic Singularity Foundation, a charity established to promote constructive analysis and discussion of the future of work. Further details:
