EXCERPT: . . . in the U.S. and U.K. algorithms are already being used to decide whether suspects should be held in custody or how much healthcare support someone should receive. This morning the U.K.’s House of Lords Select Committee called for the creation of an AI Council, which would create a mechanism to inform people about when such crucial decisions are not being made by a human. [...] If created, the Lords recommended that the AI Council would become the “industry body for AI” and act as a bridge between the private and public sector helping to coordinate the rollout of the technology. [...] “The U.K. has a unique opportunity to shape AI positively for the public’s benefit and to lead the international community in AI’s ethical development, rather than passively accept its consequences,” said Clement-Jones.

For some reason when I first read the suggested AI Council I eventually considered Dr Theopolis and his place in the Computer Council from the Buck Rodgers Series. (In the sense of a Council of AI, rather than a council about AI)
I assume the LSC has measures in place for the ethical conduct of all A.I. and that all A.I. would need to undergo screening.
