Public Law EP19: Transparency in AI - The legal principles governing decision-making by public authorities and regulators

Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts

In this edition of the Herbert Smith Freehills Public Law Podcast, Andrew Lidbetter and Hannah Lau explore the issue of transparency in driven decision-making which involves AI public bodies and regulators.

With AI being used increasingly to inform regulatory and public body decisions, we discuss the challenge that a potential lack of transparency poses and explore the current legal position. We unpack how pre-established legal principles might assist (or may need to evolve) in holding regulators and public bodies accountable when it comes to transparency in decision-making which involves AI.

Join us as we reflect on some of the legal complexities in this ever-developing area.
