Sense about Science’s Post

💻 Technology is advancing rapidly, and our ability to scrutinise – judging the safety and efficacy of new systems – needs to keep pace.  From the moment that AI tools are developed, to when they are implemented into public life, there are key ‘handover’ points in which information risks being lost – especially when handover occurs between people with different levels of experience or expertise (i.e., from developers to clinicians).     The new Responsible Handover framework empowers people to understand the origins, capability and limitations of new tech, so that it can be applied safely and effectively, solidifying the flow of information from developers to end users, and ensuring that AI is used as intended. See below for more information 👇

⚠ Governance of AI and new data-based tools is lagging dangerously behind their spread through hospitals, governments, banks, transport hubs and other major infrastructure. 💡 That’s why we developed the concept of Responsible Handover of AI. Responsible Handover is about empowering everyone involved in AI and data science tools, all the way from code development to its use in the real world, to ask good questions before taking a tool forward. It’s about avoiding unintended consequences, while not missing opportunities for progress. To find out why Responsible Handover is important in AI, and what we are doing about it, join our interactive webinar on 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟱 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟮.𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺.

🚂 The Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom's Passenger Railway is due to pass through the House of Commons today.   ❌ Though it aims to “to improve the quality, efficiency and affordability of passenger rail transport”, the bill has failed our #EvidenceTransparency test.   Responding to the findings, Tracey Brown said: "While this bill has been prepared at speed, there is no good reason for supporting documents to omit the sources and calculations behind figures"   We will continue rating major policy announcements until all departments consistently show their workings.     Click the link to read the report 👇
