Is AI in safe hands?

This week, the UK has played host to the world’s first AI Safety Summit, driven by a critical need to remain ahead of a technology that is developing at an unprecedented pace. With the EU AI Act close to implementation, and other countries racing to keep up, it’s no surprise that the UK government took […]

AI in Law Enforcement: Balancing power, innovation and ethics

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising science and industry, and extending increasingly into citizens’ daily lives. Concerns about how these powerful new tools might disrupt relations between the public and state are widespread, particularly in the law enforcement arena where tensions (such as those embodied by the Black Lives Matter movement) are routine. Within Trilateral Research’s […]

AI Enabled Software Products: First Steps to Compliance

Chat-GPT has propelled artificial intelligence (AI) to the fore of public debate. The popularity of the ground-breaking chatbot has accelerated an arms-race in the technology sector to develop new goods and services and to enhance existing software products with AI capabilities. All organisations that use software from third party vendors embedding this functionality into existing […]

Data augmentation for fairness-aware machine learning: Preventing algorithmic bias in law enforcement systems

Researchers and practitioners in the fairness community have highlighted the ethical and legal challenges of using biased datasets in data-driven systems, with algorithmic bias being a major concern. Despite the rapidly growing body of literature on fairness in algorithmic decision-making, there remains a paucity of fairness scholarship on machine learning algorithms for the real-time detection […]

COPKIT: Technology and Knowledge for Early Warning/Early Action-Led Policing in Fighting Organised Crime and Terrorism

Intelligence-led policing methods and supporting analysis tools represent the state-of-the-art approach in analysing, investigating, mitigating and preventing crime. This chapter examines the question of how such methods and tools can address the lack of interaction between long-term high-level strategic intelligence and operational intelligence in the context of the fight against organised crime and terrorism. First, […]

Artificial intelligence for human flourishing–Beyond principles for machine learning

The technical and economic benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) are counterbalanced by legal, social and ethical issues. It is challenging to conceptually capture and empirically measure both benefits and downsides. We therefore provide an account of the findings and implications of a multi-dimensional study of AI, comprising 10 case studies, five scenarios, an ethical impact […]
