NEW: Common Regulatory Capacity for AI report
@turinginst has published an independent report that found there is a need for greater coordination between regulators to meet the challenge of regulating the use of AI.
Read the report's 7 key findings here: turing.ac.uk/research/public…
ALT The study was commissioned by the Office for AI and produced by The Alan Turing Institute’s public policy programme. The Regulators and AI Working Group, convened by the Information Commissioner’s Office, provided essential input and feedback throughout all stages of the research. The report draws on interviews with staff across regulatory bodies of different sizes and sectoral remits.

Microsoft will no longer offer facial analysis tools that predict age, gender and emotion as part of a broader push for more responsible AI. It will also restrict its facial recognition tool to those who apply and explain how it will be used.
