Watch Out For Kangaroos!

AI might diagnose your health condition or determine your visa application, but what are the limits around how AI should - and should not - be used? Dr Mhairi Aitken (The Alan Turing Institute) believes only kangaroos can answer that question.

Size doesn't matter (and I mean it this time)

The data says we need more data. A middle-aged white British man will also suffer if AI ignores data from women and ethnic minority groups! Professor Ana Basiri (University of Glasgow) argues for the importance of democratising and representativeness of data.

Picking friends that influence people

Heard of Cambridge Analytica? Prof. Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge) did work that they based their political campaign advice on. He thinks whoever paid them all that money might as well have thrown it down the loo and may have done everyone a service!
