Summary of request
Request
Please publish your policies and standards for the evaluation of AI in decision support services or systems.
For clarity by "AI" I mean the term in the same way that it is defined in the proposed EU AI Act: ‘Any software that is developed with one or more of the techniques and approaches listed in Annex I and can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, generate outputs, such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing the environments they interact with.’ where Annex 1 envisages three specific techniques and approaches for AI: 'machine learning approaches', including supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, using a wide variety of methods including deep learning; 'logic and knowledge-based approaches', including knowledge representation, inductive (logic) programming, knowledge bases, inference and deductive engines, (symbolic) reasoning and expert systems; and, 'statistical approaches', Bayesian estimation, search and optimisation methods.
Response
The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime does not currently hold any policies or standards in the evaluation of AI in decision support services and systems.
If you would like to know of policies and standards held by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). You can send your FOI request directly to them, using this link: http://www.met.police.uk/foi/ or using this email address: [email protected]
