Details

In 2020, the Committee on Standards in Public Life published its report, Artificial Intelligence and Public Standards, looking at whether the then regulatory and governance framework for AI was sufficient to ensure that public standards would continue to be upheld as AI is adopted more widely across the public sector.

Four years on and given the pace of AI developments since then, we held a seminar on 21 March 2024 to revisit some of the issues raised in that report, specifically the assurances required to enable public office holders to be comfortably accountable for advice and decisions derived from or made by AI.

This is a summary note of that discussion. The note does not attribute comments or views to any particular individual or organisation.
