The New P&L speaks to Criminologist, AI ethicist & Founder of Urban AI, Renée Cummings

The impact of AI on all aspects of our life is far-reaching. AI has incredible potential, and when and designed and developed with ethical principles underpinning it, AI can have a transformational effect on communities and businesses in many ways. But AI is not without bias – it can often carry with it the subjective assumptions and judgements of those developing it or built on data that reinforces some of the structural inequalities that exist in our businesses and our societies. This week, The New P&L speaks to eminent criminologist, criminal psychologist, AI ethicist and data activist, Renée Cummings. Renée specialises in diverse, equitable and inclusive AI design, development and deployment; principled, responsible and trustworthy AI strategy and ethical AI policy development and governance, as well as AI risk management and crisis communications.  We discuss with Renée the challenges around bias in AI and how these can be overcome, as well as regulation of this sector; what a more ethical future for AI looks like and what type of leaders we need in business to get us there.
