PROBabLE Futures: Probabilistic AI Systems in Law Enforcement Futures

Probabilistic systems supported by AI, such as facial recognition, predictive tools, large language models (LLMs) and network analysis are being introduced at pace into law enforcement. Whilst these systems offer potential benefits, decision-making based on ‘Probabilistic AI’ has serious implications for individuals. The key problem for responsible AI is that the uncertain or probable nature…

Gaming Ethics Across Borders: Exploring Responsible AI Through Play

This project uses a large, role-playing “megagame” to explore how people understand and trust AI. Building on a previous RAi UK project, researchers in the UK and Australia will run linked game workshops where participants must make decisions using AI-driven information. The team will analyse how players talk about fairness,…
