Navigating the path to responsible and trustworthy AI

The report identifies significant economic opportunities in AI assurance services and calls for a robust AI regulatory framework.

In a significant move toward shaping a responsible and trustworthy future in artificial intelligence (AI), the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme, in collaboration with Trilateral Research, has released the ‘Core Principles and Opportunities for Responsible and Trustworthy AI’ report. This report marks a pivotal step in the UK’s strategic vision to become a global leader in the AI landscape by 2030.

Core principles: the foundation of trustworthy AI

At its core, the report emphasises the importance of responsible and trustworthy AI (RTAI) practices. It highlights core principles including transparency, safety, fairness, and accountability, establishing a unified vision for AI throughout its lifecycle. These principles not only ensure the responsible use of AI but also open doors to significant economic opportunities.

Economic opportunities: the road to AI assurance services

The BridgeAI report underscores the urgent need for a robust AI regulatory framework, one that places AI principles on a statutory footing and establishes a clear responsibility and liability framework for all AI actors.

It also sheds light on the commercial landscape, revealing substantial opportunities in AI assurance services. As AI systems grow in complexity and adoption, ensuring their trustworthiness becomes paramount. Developers and industry actors are encouraged to implement these RTAI principles, not just to foster public trust but also to increase revenue and market presence.
