  1. We can’t trust AI yet — the hard truths about responsible AI

    We can’t trust AI yet — the hard truths about responsible AI

    Everyone wants responsible AI. But what happens when even the experts can’t fully explain how artificial intelligence works, or prove it can be trusted? In this episode of Insight Exchange, we unpack what responsible AI really means. We go beyond the buzzwords. Join BCS’ AI Programme Lead and Chair of the AI Assurance Stakeholder Consortium, Emma McGuigan FBCS, and Martin Cooper MBCS, BCS’ Editor in Chief, as they explore: Why many AI systems can’t clearly explain their decisionsHow bias emerges — even when models perform ‘as designed’What makes reliable, safe AI different from traditional softwareThe growing tension between AI capability and privacyWhat the Post Office Horizon IT scandal tells us about trustworthy AI We also examine a critical shift: the rise of AI assurance. As organisations move to deploy AI at scale, the question is no longer just whether we can build responsible systems — but how we prove they’re responsible in practice. From accreditation to continuous oversight, assurance is becoming the missing link between AI ambition and real-world trust. We also explore how the AI Assurance Stakeholder Consortium, convened by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and led by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, will bring together leading voices from across the UK’s AI assurance ecosystem to support the development of a recognised AI assurance profession.

    Fighting payment fraud with data and AI

    There are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. That rule has held true for a long time but, open your browser or email client and quite soon another of life's inevitable forces takes centre stage: digital fraud. In conversation with Robin Reichwald, Head of Ecosystem Risk for Europe at Visa, we uncover how the global payments firm is using AI, data, and a Sherlock Holmes spirit to keep the public and vendors safe.

  3. AI – Why it’s game on for coders

    AI – Why it’s game on for coders

    The headline writers are certain: in the age of generative AI, coding is a skill that’s lost its lustre. But the truth is different. In this episode of BCS Insight Exchange, Charlene Hunter MBE, CEO and founder of Coding Black Females, explains why learning to code still has the power to rejuvenate careers and enrich lives. The key, she says, is working with AI rather than against it, and that means learning to love learning new things. Founded in 2017, Coding Black Females is dedicated to empowering and supporting black women in the tech industry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
