Dr Oldfield spoke at the CIVICA/Heilbronn forum on best practice in AI development and how professional accreditation closes the gap. The Institute of Science and Technology holds the only AI Professional Accreditation, led by Dr Oldfield and developed in conjunction with industry, government and academia. This accreditation provides a single source of truth and news for members of the body as well as access to webinars, training and slack channel communities. As per the empirical studies by Dr Oldfield and Holstein et al. as well as reports by the House of Lords it is crucial to close the gaps found within these multiple reports. Professional accreditation and best practice is key to developing ethical and robust AI.
