Responsible AI UK launches first annual report

"The AI landscape is changing rapidly, with new challenges emerging in a range of sectors, within government, industry and for society. RAi UK aims to be the trusted voice that they turn to for advice on how to develop and integrate AI into their processes, products, and daily lives to ensure AI is responsibly deployed and governed," says Professor Sarvapali (Gopal) Ramchurn, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Responsible AI UK.

Responsible AI UK has now launched its first annual report.

At Transport AI in 2024, Professor Sarvapali Ramchurn was a keynote speaker and outlined how RAI is building trust and understanding between the public, the public sector and developers in the AI space. For Transport AI 2025 we will be welcoming new members of the RAI community.

In the last year, says Gopal, we have focused on building a community. We have deployed over £15m to accelerate the translation of established responsible AI research into real-world toolkits, standards and products, to develop partnerships with other major responsible AI initiatives across the world, and, most recently, to establish the foundational projects of the programme, through our Keystone Projects. At the same time, we have contributed to the public debate on AI, through contributions at national and international events and policy consultations.

In terms of transport, considering both existing and emerging technologies in transport and communications, in this sector RAi UK research foregrounds everyday interactions with technologies and issues of public trust and safety. Findings from RAi UK research will inform the future design and regulation of publicly-interfacing robotics [Robot Autonomy in Public].
