The Public Policy Programme works alongside policy makers to explore how data-driven public service provision and policy innovation might solve long running ‘wicked’ policy problems, and to develop the ethical foundations for the use of data science and artificial intelligence in policy-making.
Our aim is to contribute to the Institute's mission – to make great leaps in data science and artificial intelligence research in order to change the world for the better – by developing research, tools, and techniques that have a positive impact on the lives of as many people as possible. Within this aim, the programme tackles questions of how to develop AI for better governance and policymaking, and how to build governance frameworks for responsible innovation and the ethical development and deployment of AI.
