A Bill to make provision for the regulation of AI, and for connected purposes.
Principles, Studies, & Recommendations
Voluntary code published by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, establishing cyber security principles for the lifecycle of AI. Principles are separated into five phases: (i) secure design; (ii) secure development; (iii) secure deployment; (iv) secure maintenance; and (v) secure end of life.
This guidance covers best practice for data protection compliant AI and how data protection law applies to AI systems that process personal data.
This ICO guidance aims to promote an understanding of the proper use of personal data in the context of AI and to help organizations identify and mitigate potential data protection risks arising from the use of AI.
This guidance jointly issued by the ICO and The Alan Turing Institute aims to give organizations practical advice to help explain the processes, services and decisions delivered or assisted by AI, to the individuals affected by them.
This guidance is intended for providers of any systems that use AI, whether those systems have been created from scratch or built on top of tools and services provided by others.
These principles are aimed at developers, engineers, decision makers and risk owners to help them make informed decisions about the design, development, deployment and operation of their ML systems. The principles help underpin the NCSC’s Guidelines for secure AI system development.
This introduction is intended to provide insights into assurance mechanisms and global technical standards, enabling industry and regulators to effectively build and deploy responsible AI systems.
This guidance identifies potential ethical risks of using AI in recruitment and hiring processes.
The Report follows the ICO’s audit of several providers and developers of AI tools for recruitment, and includes recommendations to AI developers and providers to ensure they protect the information rights of job candidates.
This resource contains questions for organizations to consider when using AI to assist with employee recruitment.
The Report follows the ICO’s January 2024 launch of its consultation series on data protection in generative AI, in which it received over 200 responses from stakeholders. The Report details the ICO’s positions on generative AI and establishes what further work still is needed by industry.
