We are designing governance and accountability mechanisms that work across the AI and job life cycles. New technologies need new controls.
Inadequate governance and accountability mechanisms for new workplace technologies mean that structural inequalities risk being entrenched, rather than reversed. We are promoting meaningful controls and mechanisms to surface and address firm and system-level equality impacts of new workplace technologies.
We have been developing the first civil-society led sandbox exploring reflexive evaluation, development, and iteration of existing and potential rule regimes and their associated social, technical and operational architectures, to promote a wider access to good work through technological disruption.
With funding from Friends Provident Foundation, support from the ESRC Centre for Digital Futures at Work, we have been exploring interactions between calls for more sovereign AI capability, and risks to workplace know-how from the harvesting of post-deployment training of foundation models.
