Peter Campbell is Data AI Practice Lead at Kainos . After 20 years at Kainos studying every aspect of AI , it occurred to him that there is a need to improve how AI is perceived .
Campbell argues that , while international standards are coming , “ we all need practical standards to follow that are available for us today to allow us to apply and implement ”. Kainos are employing their first-ever Data Ethicist to carry out this kind of work

It ' s being described as a revolution , similar to an industrial revolution . “ If we don ' t act today in a responsible , ethical way in terms of how we develop AI and deploy it , and help users understand what it ' s doing and not doing for them , then that will limit or prevent the adoption of artificial intelligence over the next few years .
“ So we want to act early to mitigate and prevent some of those issues arising ,” said Campbell .
