The winning essay is ‘Not OK Computer: A Proposed AI Transparency Framework for the UK’ by Louis Dejeu-Castang
As the cross-sector impact of AI becomes increasingly apparent, so too does the need for its regulation. This framework seeks to unlock the transparency required to guide responsible AI development.
Louis says: ‘Having grown up witnessing the optimism about aspects of the internet gradually giving way to real fears about their detriment to society, I knew that I wanted to write a proposal concerning an area of technology regulation in its relative infancy. Artificial intelligence really seemed to burst into public discourse at the time that I was conducting my background research, which cemented my decision to write about it.’
