The BBC does recommendations, but not like the commercial platforms do. We give ours a “public service” flavour - here’s why and how. #bbc#ResponsibleAI#AIEthics

Several BBC staff building and working with recommenders contributed to the report below and you can find out more about how we ensure the BBC’s recommenders reflect our public service values in our update:

For more on what the BBC has done and plans to do in the future to ensure our recommenders are aligned with our values, we've written a blog post: https://t.co/7Hw9y5y5px
Public service media organisations can lead the way and build on their work addressing challenges posed by the use of recommendation systems through:
🔴increasing algorithmic transparency
🔴greater user control
🔴expanded public participation in research and development.
An important new report from @AdaLovelaceInst which the BBC was pleased to partner on as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability. Recommenders determine much of what we see and don't see online - the values behind them matter.
📢From what to read, to what we should watch or listen to next, recommendations are an inescapable feature of digital content.
Our new report explores the use of recommendation systems in public service media across Europe and the UK.

And incidentally: @radiojay, @StephenBeckett and @dontcallmeDOM can’t half run a workshop! Best remote workshop I’ve attended… probably ever. Prep was clear and easy, discussion was well-led and wide-ranging, and structure was clear. It was great.

As well as BBC radio and BBC Sounds podcasts, #beeb also has a personality and lots of fun content and easter eggs to explore. A few things to try:
- "OK Beeb, do you like Blue Planet?"
- "OK Beeb, what do you look like?"
- "OK Beeb, are you alive?"
We are live! It started as a dream 2.5 years ago, the hard work began early last year, and now Beeb is finally here. "OK Beeb, who's your favourite Doctor?" https://t.co/qLUlYvqcPd
