Our Engineering Responsible AI project is grounded in the realities of AI technology and presents the balanced views of experts to unpick the polarisation and exaggeration in the debate. Through work which is specific, problem-focused and policy-driven, we seek to provide advice and recommendations to help the UK enjoy economic and social benefits from the development of safe, secure and sustainable AI.
