Dr Oldfield spoke on the Heavybit Podcast about ethical benchmarks in AI
Ethical Benchmarks are key for developers to create and implement robust and ethical AI. The problems come when ethical benchmarks don’t exist. In higher education in the UK we have no teaching or assessment benchmarks for AI. This leaves professionals untrained or poorly trained. Professionals are then subject to legislation and regulation and crucially, accountability. This leaves practitioners open to prosecution without even having the pre requisite training. Therefore the establishment of the Professional Accreditation for AI by the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) is a key change moving forwards. The IST provides best practice, training, access to a community of like minded professionals as well as free entry for students. The IST HE QA Mark for educational course means we can quality assure the teaching and assessment that is undertaken in tertiary education.
