UK Lords push bill to tame rogue algorithms in public sector www.theregister.com/2024/09/10/u...bills.parliament.uk/bills/3760 #AIpolicy#algorithmictransparency#dataprotection #DISDBill -ish

Under Lord Clement-Jones' proposals, if an automated decision affects social security benefits, immigration, or similar, a citizen would have a right to access the information on why the decision was made so that they could challenge it. The proposed bill says public authorities should publish impact assessments of any automated or AI algorithms they use to make decisions, and to keep a transparency register on automated decision making. It also obliges the government to provide an independent dispute resolution service for people who want to challenge any decisions made about them.

Drivers still paying too much for #roadfuel www.gov.uk/government/n...#DISDBill #smartdata #opendata

The CMA is currently monitoring developments in the fuel market using information provided voluntarily by fuel retailers. It has created a temporary price data-sharing scheme, and it is positive that some major players have started to integrate this into consumer-facing products, like apps. However, the current scheme covers only 40% of fuel retail sites and is not comprehensive enough to be utilised by map apps or sat-navs to bring accurate, live information to people – and this is what would have a substantial impact on the market.

The proposed introduction of the Digital Information and Smart Data Bill by the new government could provide the legislative basis to set up a compulsory and comprehensive scheme that would change this – which the CMA would welcome.

The King's Speech: 40 policy bills, a gaping AI hole and a boomerang data bill www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/tmt/20...#KingsSpeech #DISDBill #smartdata #dataprotection #AIBill.

The gaping hole: The AI Bill

In a dramatic turn of events, a much hyped specific "AI Bill" was missing from the 40 policy bills set out in the briefing notes. This was particularly surprising given that the King's Speech itself referred to the Government seeking to "harness the power of artificial intelligence as we look to strengthen safety frameworks", as well as "establish the appropriate legislation to place requirements on those working to develop the most powerful artificial intelligence models".

…

Alternatively, the references in the King's Speech might, instead, allude to placing the existing AI Safety Institute on a statutory footing. Either way, it sounds like we will be kept guessing a little longer around the UK's approach to regulating AI. However, the current lack of detail risks fostering uncertainty, reducing confidence, and deterring investment in the UK market.

Digital Information and Smart Data Bill

● The Government wants to ensure we harness the power of data for economic growth, to support a modern digital government, and to improve people's lives.
● The Bill will enable new innovative uses of data to be safely developed and deployed and will improve people's lives by making public services work better by reforming data sharing and standards; help scientists and researchers make more life enhancing discoveries by improving our data laws; and ensure your data is well protected by giving the regulator (the ICO) new, stronger powers and a more modern structure. These measures start delivering on the Government's commitment to better serve the British public through science and technology.
