Impressive and groundbreaking results from @DeepMind_Health - our algorithms match experts to diagnose eye disease and allow doctors to understand how the system makes its recommendations. So proud of the Applied team @DeepMindAI! #aiforgood#socialimpact
Experts said the level of accuracy is impressive, but the bigger breakthrough is the DeepMind system’s solution to the so-called “black box” problem of artificial intelligence. https://t.co/q5ip8TuDQ5
AI+ethics is important, but has been partly hijacked by the AGI (artificial general intelligence) hype. Let's cut out the AGI nonsense and spend more time on the urgent problems: Job loss/stagnant wages, undermining democracy, discrimination/bias, wealth inequality.
Pertinent discussion on #governance in #AI. “Blockchain has created a playground to develop and iterate new governance models... For example liquid democracy, with the option delegate voting rights.”
#CogX18#LTW
Inspiring talk from @joannashields kicks off #CogX18.
AI has the potential to do good at scale like never before, but beneficial outcomes are not guaranteed. “We have to be careful what we optimise for and who benefits from this optimisation.”
New report from @theRSAorg argues for public engagement in the development of #AI. "When it comes to controversial uses of AI, the public’s views and, crucially, their values can help steer governance in the best interests of society."

Full house @oht_uk on busting the #blockchain myth.
Lots of examples to improve #healthcare - from sharing health records to stopping fake drugs. And many challenges - immutability makes it tricky to delete data after processing to comply with #GDPR.
Today we’re kicking off our #NHS70 celebrations @oht_uk! We’ll be profiling 70 inspiring women in health - one a day until the big day! #70daycountdown#womenintech#pressforprogress

Welcome news on #AISectorDeal announced today - big commitment from government & industry for UK to remain world leader in #ethicalAI.
"The UK must be at the forefront of emerging tech, pushing boundaries & harnessing innovation to change people's lives for the better.” https://t.co/wcU8sm0ZA9
New £1bn #AISectorDeal to make UK a global leader in AI - seizing multi-billion £ economic opportunity & harnessing innovation to change people's lives for the better #IndustrialStrategy https://t.co/wtjfLkGHyH
“We’re at the intersection of two different worlds - #tech and #drugdiscovery. It’s booming quickly, but challenges remain. For example our machine-generated molecules can’t be patented today because you need a human on the patent.” @rabiatkhan@benevolent_ai#StudentMedTech
.@CianH is at #StudentMedTech sharing how @DeepMind_Health engages the public & clinicians to prioritise research & deploy #AI in the real world
“Use of data requires society‘s trust. Establishing & maintaining that trust will require fundamentally new tools and infrastructure”
Humbled by the inspiring talks & results of decades-long research at #WIREDhealth. From the first FDA approved gene therapy and mapping every cell in the body to bold health policies in Botswana. #healthtech#bioscience#bioInformatics#HealthForAll
Important & inspiring findings in the #WhatWomenWant 2.0 Report! #PressforProgress#IWD2018#WomensDay
“When we realised the results almost exactly mirrored what women were asking for in 1996, it made us pause: two decades on, why is there so much unfinished business?” https://t.co/UucZVgVlKC
Today's the day! We hope to see you all tonight as we launch the WhatWomenWant 2.0 report in Parliament, alongside Shami Chakrabarti, a cross-party panel of MPs and a whole host of wonderful feminist authors. Join us and find out #whatwomenwant at the #WWWLaunch.
Another worrying example of algorithmic #bias and why #ResponsibleAI must be a priority for tech sector. UK police using #AI that discriminates against poor and amplifies existing biases.
https://t.co/9ICfCxEJRF
#AI applications in the public sector are growing, but we need to address #ethical concerns to make sure everyone benefits.
Here's a great starting point from @nesta_uk - 10 principles to govern AI decision making systems https://t.co/t36wYUgffC
Data sharing is really hard! Check out these messy data flows to @NHSDigital. But Daniel Ray & co are making it easier, faster, safer to access appropriate data (while demand doubles every year!). And they're leading the way to set standards. #NHS#DataScience#AIcongress2018
Great start to #AICongress from Director of Data @NHSDigital! Starting with some tough questions in #AIethics in #NHS - In who’s interest does AI make a decision in favour of, patient or state? What level of “safe” is required? How do we deal with de-skilling as diseases evolve?
Tune in to fascinating #EthicsinAI debate!
“Finding a moral consensus is going to be incredibly difficult - we need to experiment & find new ways of doing it. For example we’re convening citizen juries to deliberate ethical issues” @Reema__Patel on @theRSAorg@DeepMindAI project
