Process Based Governance in Action

This report was prepared for the Department for Business & Trade by The Alan Turing Institute in October 2023 and details the AI Governance Framework for the Ethical and Responsible Design, Development, and Deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AIGF), which aims to support departmental management and staff in the ethical adoption and use of AI and related data-driven technologies. 

This document is intended to support organisations with an approach to AI ethics called the Process-Based-Governance Framework, which is an established method for applying principles of AI ethics and safety to the design, development, and deployment of algorithmic systems. The guidance outlines how AI project teams can put ethical values and practical principles into practice across the AI project lifecycle - beginning with the decision to use a data-driven system through its adoption and ultimate retirement - ensuring that AI is used ethically, safely, and responsibly.
