High-profile examples of harm associated with algorithm failure and misuse have garnered significant public concern (e.g. manipulation of the democratic process, discriminatory practice in criminal justice sentencing, and bias against racial and gender categories in the labour market). The field of AI ethics refers to the literature and to the community of people interested in this space. One high-profile manifestation of this is the formation of specialist ethics councils and teams to deliberate on conundrums regarding the use, access and openness of platforms and technologies (such as social media and messaging apps, etc.). For instance, the banning of particular public figures as well as lay users for use of the services in a manner that is not acceptable has been a constant theme in the public debate.

On February 19, 2020, the European Commission (Commission) published proposals for the regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with potentially far-reaching implications both for users and developers worldwide. The proposals are contained in a densely written 26-page “White Paper” which in this alert we distill down to 10 take-away points. The White Paper, together with the other strategy documents published at the same time1, is vital reading for any business which participates in the data economy, and in particular companies that operate across borders.

“The services market for artificial intelligence technologies is rapidly maturing on the back of several years of learning and a realization—delivering AI is unlike delivering any other technology thus far. Delivering on the promise of AI calls for far more collaboration between service providers, tech vendors, and enterprise clients.” The biggest differentiator in enterprise AI services, as described by most of the customer leaders, is the quality of people—not just the quantity available for a specific skill. Domain understanding and data engineering capabilities are top priorities. A culture of innovation, experimentation, collaboration, and co creation with customers is the key winning formula here.”
