Dr Oldfield spoke at AI Ethics, Risks and Safety Conference. Topic: Practitioner Challenges in AI and the new global AI Accreditation.
It was a pleasure to speak at this conference and to hear about projects from all over the AI ecosystem. It is important to attend conferences to both update your understanding of what is happening in the world but also to network with people working within your industry. The topics ranged from the ICO work on privacy to Ethics in AI and the Institute of Science and Technology AI Professional Accreditation. Standards and safety were also represented by try Institute for AI Safety. This is something the Institute of Science and technology is working a lot on with partners at the Turing, BSI, IEEE and CEN/CENELEC.
There was a lot of interest in the professional accreditation and I’m pleased to say we had many new joiners to our slack channel and the IST. We look forward to mentoring professionals through to accredited status.
