The ICO’s Updated Guidance on AI and Data Protection: What is New?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new technology and its laws and regulations, as well as guidance released on good practices in this area, are quickly developing. Since our last article on AI, on 15 March 2023, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) updated its Guidance on AI and Data Protection. This was influenced by UK organisations requesting clarification on the requirements for fairness in AI.
The UK Government previously stated in its policy paper Establishing a pro-innovative approach to regulating AI, that ‘clear, innovative-friendly and flexible approaches to regulating AI will be core to achieving our ambition to unleash growth and innovation while safeguarding our fundamental values and keeping people safe and secure’.
Notwithstanding AI’s great potential, there is a concern about data protection in this developing area. We summarise the ICO’s updates below.
