MP Darren Jones: 'Horizon Scanning' to Design Better AI Regulation

Darren Jones is Member of UK Parliament who has chaired the Parliamentary Technology Information and Communications Forum, Parliamentary Commission on Technology Ethics, and Labour Digital. Darren is also the founding chair of the Institute of AI, a global coalition of legislators interested in AI, and he is a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Global AI Action Alliance (GAIAA). In this episode, Darren speaks to how legislators need to 'horizon scan' and understand cutting edge tech to translate it into creating more opportunities while reducing risk through laws and regulation. He argues regulation can support 'safety by design', instead of the tendency to retrofit AI trust and safety considerations at the end of the process.
