This document 'Artificial Intelligence - The Societal Implications' is one of our 'Considered Proposals'. While The UK Government is now fully behind the opportunities for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both Public and Private Sector, it appears to be in...
This document is the output of the two Probably42 discussion groups Deep Thought and Zero Gravity. The output was fed into the Government Consultation on the subject. Importantly it puts forward an alternative approach which instead of pitting the C...

This is one of three inputs to the changeNHS Consultation. One can input at an organisation level and a personal level. It’s worth a visit to the public area to see the sort of suggestions being made – it's very variable as you’d expect ...
'Making AI work for Society, not just Business and the Public Sector' This short 2 page paper identifies what we believe are major societal opportunities of AI that are in danger of being missed by Government, yet are vital for the ‘good of all...

if we are going to handle job disruption and ultimately job loss as a result of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, we need to consider how deployment of AI generates the finances to handle its own consequences, seen and unforeseen.This short article lo...

Geoff OsborneCongratulations on a well-argued case that could serve as an exemplar for Ideas posted on Probably42. You've tackled the Why, Who, Where and When, but not the What of AI (or IA).

You've tackled the Why, Who, Where and When, but not the What of AI (or IA). The term is banded about a lot at the moment but I wondered if you had any particular scope in mind. Amazon's 'Customers who bought this item also bought ....' was cited as an example of AI in a recent radio broadcast, but your article focuses on jobs that can be replaced by AI. Thank you for including my counter-argument. Googling suggests to me that the world is split 50/50 between your view and mine, so a good issue for Probably42 to cut its teeth on. less

I suspect there is a lot of misuse of the term AI among the media and I don't believe the Amazon example of 'Customers who bought this........' is actually AI. rather than address this in a comment response I think it might be worth writing it as a separate document. I'll add a link when I've done it. Tony

It's very good and there's nothing to add to Geoff's comments. The navigation is easy and it follows a clear pattern and is logical. So all in all, the whole thing is a success!

Still worth reading this but there is now a fuller document prepared as a submission to the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Just scan the documents in the Proposals section to view it.
