Our work on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI), including biometric technologies, is a priority area for the ICO due to its potential to pose a high risk to individuals and their rights and freedoms. Personal information fuels much of these technologies’ innovation so it must be used responsibly to build public trust and drive growth and improved efficiency.

While not an exhaustive list, our current areas of focus include: 

    • generative AI;
    • foundation models;
    • Code of Practice on AI and Automated Decision Making;
    • Automated Decision-Making (ADM) systems;
    • AI and children;
    • AI and online safety;
    • police use of biometrics technologies; and
    • recommender systems.
