Legal Strategies & Tech Policy Consultant — Develops effective strategies through curiosity, expertise, and fostering trusted relationships.

Alongside experts in data, digital and AI, there should be experts in equality, inclusion, and other social aspects of technology to build systems that are fair and uphold the rule of law. Where digital systems implement public power and decision-making, it is essential that the systems correctly implement the law and meet general principles of administrative law. My argument this morning for transparent, fair, and accountable use of AI by government: https://lnkd.in/gP23JrCU Jennifer Cobbe's essential reading "Administrative law and the machines of government: judicial review of automated public-sector decision-making" https://lnkd.in/g-MGmak4 Government Legal Department Attorney General's Office (UK)

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will expand in both scope and size bringing experts in data, digital and AI from the Government Digital Service (GDS) the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) and the Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (iAI) to unite efforts in the digital transformation of public services under one department. This move will drive forward the digital changes needed to overhaul the British public’s experience of interacting with the government, so it becomes personalised, convenient, and timesaving – for example, by providing people with just one way to log in and prove who they are so they can quickly access the government services they need. It will also help remove roadblocks to sharing data across the public sector.

  • A modern, digital government.

Vital to bear in mind that both the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act provide legal frameworks for digital government that are enforceable and should be considered from the outset.
