#AI has often struggled to connect technology to widespread social benefit. The result is a growing gap between AI’s technical capabilities and our ability to deploy these capabilities to deliver real-world public benefit. At a time when the UK has an opportunity to refresh its national approach to AI, how can we translate high-level policy ambitions into practical action? In partnership with the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy and the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, our new policy brief takes stock of where further action could help create a world-leading UK AI ecosystem. In the next phase of AI policy development there is an opportunity to: 🔷 Connect to public interests and concerns 🔷 Build regulatory capacity for innovation 🔷 Design our public innovation infrastructure to tackle real-world problems 🔷 Grow the domestic base No matter which path is chosen, success requires a shift in how policy is implemented, so that any new interventions tackle the practical barriers to delivering widespread public benefit from AI. ⬇️ Find out more and read our report https://lnkd.in/dg9eSi4Q #CambridgeUniversity #AIforsociety Gina Neff | Neil Lawrence | Jessica Montgomery | Diane Coyle | University of Cambridge | CRASSH | Cambridge Digital Humanities | Department for Science, Innovation and Technology
