In this first part, Tim gives a big picture of how #AI regulation has been proceeding on the global stage since before large language models were a thing, giving us the context that took us from the Asilomar Principles to today's Hiroshima principles and the EU AI Act and the new ISO standard 42001 for AI. And we talk about long-term planning, intellectual property rights, the effects of the open letters that called for a pause or moratorium on model training, and much more.

Lord Tim Clement-Jones, Liberal Democrat peer, explains why a lack of consistency from the government hasn't helped startups, weighs in on the debate around using copyrighted material to train AI systems, and unpacks why regulation isn't the enemy of innovation.    Lord Clement-Jones was chair of the Liberal Party from 1986-1988. He was made CBE for political services in 1988 and a life peer in 1998. He is the Liberal Democrat House of Lords spokesperson for science, innovation and technology. He is the former chair of the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. He co-founded and has co-chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence since 2016. In addition to his political work, Lord Clement-Jones is a Consultant on AI policy and regulation with global law firm, DLA Piper. 

For those following the regulation of artificial intelligence, there is no doubt passage of the AI Act in the EU is likely top of mind. But proposed policies, laws and regulatory developments are taking shape in many corners of the world, including in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Singapore and the U.S. Not to be left behind, the U.K. held a highly touted AI Safety Summit late last year, producing the Bletchley Declaration, and the government has been quite active in what the IAPP Research and Insights team describes as a “context-based, proportionate approach to regulation.” In the upper chamber of the U.K. Parliament, Lord Holmes, a member of the influential House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology, introduced a private members' bill late in 2023 that proposes the regulation of AI. The bill also just received a second reading in the House of Lords 22 March. Lord Holmes spoke of AI's power at a recent IAPP conference in London. While there, I had the opportunity to catch up with him to learn more about his Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill and what he sees as the right approach to guiding the powers of this burgeoning technology.

During this month of February 2024, we will be having a series of discussions about digital technology and AI, in the run up to an event that the Foundation for Science and Technology is holding on 28th February in London. For the second of these podcasts, we are joined by Lord Clement-Jones, Liberal Democrats House of Lords spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology. Lord Clement Jones is the former Chair of the Lords Select Committee on AI, the current Co-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on AI, and a founding member of OECD's Parliamentary Group on AI, amongst several other roles.

The conversation with Oliver Garner discusses Jeff's 'regulatory' conception of the Rule of Law and its application to contemporary challenges.

The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill seeks to circumvent the UK Supreme Court's recent judgment holding the Government's Rwanda policy, concerning the removal of certain asylum-seekers, to Rwanda. The Bill contemplates placing the UK in breach of its international obligations, including under the European Convention on Human Rights and the Refugee Convention, while forming part of a policy that relies upon Rwanda's adherence to its own international obligations. The Bill is thus at once hypocritical and parochial, given that domestic legislation cannot free the UK of its legal obligations on the international plane. In this short video Professor Mark Elliott explores the legal and constitutional implications of the Bill. Mark Elliott is Professor of Public Law and Chair of the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge. From 2015 to 2019, he served as Legal Adviser to the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution, providing advice to the Committee on a range of legislative and other matters.

In this episode, Dr Natalie Lancer talks to Dr Andrew Marren, Natalie Silverdale and Dr Andrew Parsons. Natalie Silverdale and Dr Andrew Parsons are part of the team behind the pioneering concept of coaching cancer patients at The Fountain Centre, a cancer charity located at St Luke's Cancer Centre at the Royal Surrey Hospital. Dr Andrew Marren researched the ‘therapeutic coaching' happening at the Fountain Centre for his doctorate. We discuss: How did the coaching service at The Fountain Centre get started? How does coaching support cancer patients? How does coaching fit into other holistic and emotional services offered to patients? How is the coaching delivered and in what format? How did The Fountain Centre develop a framework of standards and ethics for coaching cancer patients? How does the coaches' learning and development inform the coaching services offered to patients? What are the key research findings from the patients' and coaches' perspective? What does The Fountain Centre look for in volunteer coaches? How do supervision and self-care practices support the volunteer coaches? How might ‘therapeutic coaching' fit into existing National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance on Cancer Services? The case study of The Fountain Centre demonstrates how coaching is a service that can be offered in addition to counselling and other forms of support. The impact of this service has been recognised by NHS England who are using the approach to develop National Standards for coaching in cancer. In this conversation, we discuss how as well as improving palliative care for people with cancer, coaching in hospitals may well benefit other patients. Our guests today are: Dr Andrew Marren undertook his PhD at the University of Portsmouth as a collaborative project with The Fountain Centre cancer charity. The PhD focused on exploring the impact of coaching cancer patients, from both the coaches' and patients' perspectives. He previously completed an ILM Level 3 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring and an MSc in Work Psychology. He worked on a coaching project at University of South Wales, exploring the training needs of academic staff. He is currently employed at the University of Winchester as a Lecturer in Psychology and researches coaching in cancer care, advocating for coaching as an emotional support intervention. Natalie Silverdale has been working in the field of cancer and end of life care for over 25 years. Since 2015, she has worked for The Fountain Centre. She is a qualified coach in the Centre and Head of Research and Development. She has worked extensively in palliative care services, undertaking a national evaluation of the Marie Curie Nursing Service, working as Head of Research and Policy for the Dignity in Dying and working as researcher on Lord Joel Joffe's Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill that was subject to a House of Lords Select Committee in 2004/5.  Dr Andrew Parsons is an Accredited Master Coach and Certified Wellness Practitioner with speciality in Psychology, Neuroscience and Physiology.  He is an experienced holistic therapist and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (Hypnotherapy).

Artificial intelligence influences how we interact with everything – and religion is no exception. AI technology is increasingly being incorporated into religious worship. Robot priests are delivering sermons, chatbots are reciting prayers, robot monks are spreading wisdom and robotic arms are carrying out ceremonies. Aleem Maqbool speaks with robotics specialist, Gabriele Trovato, creator of SanTO, a robotic Catholic priest that delivers sermons, gives advice and joins worshippers in prayers. This sparks a discussion on whether AI will transform how people experience religion and the potential outcomes involved. Aleem is joined by: Professor Subramanian Ramamoorthy - Chair of Robot Learning and Autonomy and Director of the Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner - Rabbi at Bromley Reform Synagogue and former Senior Rabbi to Reform Judaism The Right Reverend Steven Croft - Bishop of Oxford, member of the House of Lords Select Committee on AI and a founding board member for the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation Assistant Producer: Linda Walker Producer: Alexa Good

On Monday 13 June, the UK Government published the text of the proposed Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. The Northern Ireland Protocol forms part of the Withdrawal Agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The Protocol creates a special legal position for Northern Ireland in the light of its particular political circumstances, effectively enabling Northern Ireland to remain within the EU’s Single Market for goods. The UK Government argues that it is necessary to ‘fix’ certain practical problems that it perceives in relation to this arrangement, including ‘disruption and diversion of trade and significant costs and bureaucracy for business’. It therefore proposes the enactment of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. In this video, Professor Mark Elliott considers the extent to which the Bill could be considered to be proposing a breach of international law. Mark Elliott is Professor of Public Law and Chair of the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge. From 2015 to 2019, he served as Legal Adviser to the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution, providing advice to the Committee on a range of legislative and other matters.

Throughout the world we have seen tobacco sponsorship and alcohol sponsorship banned or curbed in most markets and, right now, the sponsorship industry is watching the UK after a House of Lords Select Committee on gambling recommended that not only should gambling shirt sponsorship be banned by 2023, but “there should also be no gambling advertising in or near any sports grounds or sports venues”. The review is driven by concern at the number of problem gamblers, which is estimated at 430,000 in Britain, and which has seen the losses of punters rocket to £14.4 billion per year in 2019; that’s almost US$20 billion. Of course, the pervasiveness of betting in sport, and football in particular, is there for all to see and certainly a driving factor. It seems surprising that gambling has avoided the spotlight for so long. It may, in some part, be due to the rapid rise of online gambling which has developed at a breakneck speed. Interestingly, however, the opposite is happening in the US with betting sponsorships being signed with regularity. Somebody, right in the middle of it in England, is Joel Seymour-Hyde, MD of Octagon UK, who not only boats Paddy Power as a client, but who has also served as a director on the European Sponsorship Association Board. As such, in this episode, we welcome Shannan Quinn, Managing Director at PRISM. Also joining the show is Jordan Rutner, Research Marketing Manager at KORE Software, who has written a fascinating blog recently on Visualizing Sponsorship Assets Across Collegiate Programs.

In the early days of the internet, information technology could be viewed as morally neutral. It was simply a means of passing data from one point to another. But, as communications technology has advanced by using algorithms, tracking and identifiers to shape the flow of information, we are being presented with moral and ethical questions about how the internet is being used and even reshaping what it means to be human. In this episode of Big Tech, Taylor Owen speaks with the Right Reverend Dr. Steven Croft, the Bishop of Oxford, Church of England. Bishop Steven, as he is known to his own podcast audience, is a board member of the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation and has been part of other committees such as the House of Lords’ Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Bishop Steven approaches the discussions around tech from a very different viewpoint, not as an academic or technologist but as a theologian in the Anglican church: “I think technology changes the way we relate to one another, and that relationship is at the heart of our humanity.” He compares what is happening now in society with the internet to the advent of the printing press in the fifteenth century, which democratized knowledge and changed the world in profound ways. The full impacts of this current technological shift in our society are yet to be known. But, he cautions, we must not lose sight of our core human principles when developing technology and ensure that we deploy it for “the common good of humankind.” “I don’t think morals and ethics can be manufactured out of nothing or rediscovered. And if we don’t have morality and ethics as the heart of the algorithms, when they’re being crafted, then the unfairness will be even greater than they otherwise have been.”

Lord Clement-Jones, consultant of global law firm DLA Piper, former chair of the UK House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. In this conversation, we talk about emerging regulations for substituting AI for human labor and routine work, regulating big tech, AI for grand societal challenges, data trusts, and UK strengths in AI.My takeaway is that there are crucial risks and opportunities involved with AI that do need to be resolved this decade, by governments, even though the pace of adoption might not be as steep as some industry visionaries predict. The existing governance frameworks around the world are not enough. He government simply needs a new approach to algorithmic decision making. Data trusts is one piece of the puzzle, not the only approach, but perhaps an important one.After listening to the episode, check out Lord Clement-Jones' report to Parliament on AI as well as his social media profile:AI in the UK: ready, willing and able?

Years of soft-touch regulation and the universal adoption of smartphones have created a “perfect storm of addictive 24/7 gambling”, making “the lives of two million people miserable” – according to a House of Lords Select Committee report looking into the betting industry. Its 66 recommendations include a ban on “loot boxes” in video games, which can often be bought for real money and offer a randomised reward; many see this as a dangerous gateway to gambling for children. It wants to ease the industry out of sports sponsorship; half the Premier League football clubs are currently supported by betting companies. It wants new taxes on gambling with the money used to fund addiction clinics. What, if any, is the moral equivalence between problem gambling and other forms of addiction to recreational activities like drinking and smoking? If it’s a public health issue rather than a matter of individual free choice, how heavily should gambling be restricted? Perhaps, because gambling addiction can often have a wider social impact, hurting families and friends as well as the addicts themselves, it should be compared to drug abuse. If that’s reasonable, why not just treat gambling like any class A drug and make it illegal? Gambling enthusiasts and libertarians see it as a leisure activity which offers harmless fun to the vast majority of punters. They believe there is nothing intrinsically immoral about the industry, although most admit that betting companies do have a duty of care to vulnerable clients. Are problem gamblers the hapless victims of a heartless racket or does that rob them of moral agency and free them of personal responsibility? Is problem gambling a disease, a moral failing or just the downside of freedom? With Dr Henrietta Bowden-Jones, Brigid Simmonds, Christopher Snowdon and Matt Zarb-Cousin. Producer: Dan Tierney.

Oscar winning film producer David Puttnam joins Damian Collins MP this week. Lord Puttnam Chairs the House of Lords Select Committee on Democracy and Digital Technologies. Their most recent report pointed to an ‘unacceptable' delay to the UK Government's Online Harms Bill. Dr Charles Kriel investigates whether Cambridge Analytica has returned.

In times of urgency, governments habitually concentrate power and restrict citizens' rights. The current situation is no different: in order to prevent or control the spread of COVID-19, governments around the world have issued stay at home orders and temporarily closed businesses. While such measures are clearly necessary, it remains important that we scrutinise the extraordinary powers conferred upon governments and interrogate whether their legal basis is satisfactory. We would also do well to think more broadly about what emergencies do to liberal democracies, and how they stretch further the tensions between liberty and constraint, order and justice, that inhere in any rule-of-law state. In this latest episode of our new podcast series COVID-19: The Pandemic and Europe, EI Executive Director Uta Staiger and guests explore states of emergency from the Roman Republic to today's UK, from Carl Schmitt to privacy-respecting contact tracing systems. Featuring: Jeff King, Professor of Law (UCL Laws) and a Legal Adviser to the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution, giving advice on the Coronavirus Bill before it was passed by Parliament. Valentina Arena, Associate Professor in Roman History (UCL History), author of Libertas and the Practice of Politics in the Late Roman Republic (CUP, 2012), and interested in how ancient theories of liberty may contribute to contemporary political debates. Nomi Claire Lazar, Associate Dean of Faculty (Yale-NUS College), author of States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies (CUP, 2009), and recently member of a panel advising Canada's Chief Science Advisor on rights derogating technologies. -- *This podcast was recorded on Friday, 24 April.

In episode 26, Rhod looks at the impact Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to have on philanthropy and civil society. Topics covered include:   -What are we talking about? We look at what AI actually means and why it has come to prominence in recent years, and consider 3 broad ways in which AI is going to affect civil society. -AI for Good: How is AI being put to use to deliver social and environmental benefits, and where could this go in the future? We touch on fascinating projects using machine learning for medical research and environmental protection, and explore the use of chatbots and voice-activated assistants. -The wider operating environment: AI seems set to disrupt the way that organisations, and even entire industries, operate. Civil society organisations could harness the benefits of automation, but will also need to address the wider challenges that it poses to the future of the workplace. Regulation could also be transformed, and CSOs will have to adapt. And the ways in which we are able to give in the future might look radically different. -Negative consequences of AI: We are now aware that AI poses risks as well as opportunities, and civil society seems certain to play a role in addressing many of these new challenges. We explore the dangers of algorithmic bias and the growing tide of fake news and targeted propaganda- including the emergence of “deepfakes”. We also look at the ways in which interaction with AI could affect human behaviour and the challenges this might pose.   Related Content -Machine-Made Goods: Philanthropy, civil society and artificial intelligence (forthcoming discussion paper, so watch out for it on our Future:Good pages)   -CAF Submission to House of Lords Select Committee on AI Call for Evidence    -"Where are Charities in the Great AI Debate", World Economic Forum blog   -Civil Society article on charities and AI ethics   -5 ways AI is already having an impact on charity   -Robotic Alms: Is AI the future of philanthropy advice?   -Future Imperfect: 10 new problems that technology will create and charities will have to deal with   -Automatic for the People: What might a philanthropy algorithm look like?

Baroness Pitkeathly, Chair of the House of Lords Select Committee on Charities, talks about her new report on the future of British charities and how Brexit is going to affect their funding. Last week, Jeffrey John, the Dean of St Albans, publicly accused the Bishops of the Church in Wales of "anti-gay discrimination" after he was informed that his name will not be taken forward as a candidate for the See of Llandaff. A few days later, a group of Welsh MPs published an open letter to the Church in Wales College of Bishops in support of Jeffrey John.

It has been revealed that the man who committed the terrorist attack at Westminster on Wednesday was a Muslim convert who, it is believed, turned to Islam whilst in prison for violent crimes. His actions have been widely condemned by the Muslim community but how can British mosques identify and prevent the development of those who join the faith to pursue a Jihadist path? To discuss, Edward is joined by Jamal Heath (a convert to Islam in later life) and by Ibrahim Asmary (a Senior Outreach Worker in Westminster).

What lessons should the world learn about resource management from one of the most densely populated cities in the world: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/singapore-at-50-oil-and-water-inextricably-mixedModern civilization depends on both energy and water. The world is facing crises in the availability of both. Water is needed to produce energy and energy is needed to process and move water. Different countries address their challenges in different ways and with different degrees of urgency - Singapore shows how a small and densely populated island can successfully balance the needs of people and environmentGlobally the energy challenge is to meet the needs of a growing world population while burning less fossil fuel. The water challenge is to meet the needs of agriculture, industry and people, while leaving sufficient for the other kinds of life on earth.
