The Challenges of Artificial Intelligence: Britain’s Bright Future

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the power to drive dramatic transformations which will undoubtedly lead to major economic and social benefits. We discuss the history, the future and the challenges AI presents in how we implement this technology in a safe, regulated and ethical manner. AI has a history which Britain should be proud of and organisations such as the Alan Turing Institute are paving a way for the UK to remain a centre of expertise for AI across the world, breaking new ground towards the goal of regulated, safe and ethical AI. Without doubt there are still ethical and trust related questions that remain unanswered but as the UK continues to pour more effort into the difficult questions raised by its implementation, the future for AI in the UK remains bright.
