Who is Responsible for Responsible AI? with Shannon Vallor

Shannon Valor, Baillie Gifford Professor in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence, University of Edinburgh gave an incredibly important talk at Turing Fest 2023.


This talk confronts the urgent challenge of building a responsible AI ecosystem in the UK. Shannon will explain why in the light of recent AI advances a responsible AI ecosystem is essential for UK innovation, and she maps the public, corporate and engineering ‘ecologies’ that must share new responsibilities in that ecosystem. Finally, Shannon talks about the obstacles in the way of a healthy, mature and sustainable AI ecosystem in the UK, and how bridging divides across the Responsible AI landscape can help us overcome them.💪
