“The research finds that PSM have distinctive concerns, challenges and values, which shape their efforts to procure AI ‘responsibly’ at a time of heightened security risks and rapid geopolitical change.” Prof Kate Wright @newsprof1.bsky.social www.publicmediaalliance.org/data-privacy...

Drawing on interviews with 13 PSMs across five continents, the research highlights rising cyber threats, growing geopolitical pressures and major disparities between high-income and low-income organisations in their ability to adopt AI responsibly.

The report reveals that public service media (PSM) organisations are increasingly concerned about data privacy, national security and editorial independence when procuring AI tools for journalism.

By focusing on areas where cross-national collaboration can add distinct value, these projects aim to strengthen partnerships, advance shared understanding, and drive progress in responsible AI research. Explore the funded projects and collaborations: braiduk.org/uk-us-collab...

Funded by @ukri.org and delivered through the AHRC's BRAID programme, this £1.2M investment supports research on topics including:

▶️ AI’s impact on public media and discourse,
▶️ Law and regulation in relation to AI innovation, and
▶️ Resilience and sustainability in the AI ecosystem.

This event is organised by BRAID Fellows Anna-Maria Sichani, @paulawest.bsky.social and @nickbk.bsky.social

In the era of data-driven AI, traditional notions of “openness” are being rapidly redefined. From Big Tech branding themselves as “open,” to AI models that selectively disclose only parts of their systems, claims of “openness” often obscure more than they reveal.

Drawing on participatory field research in four cities, the authors discuss how AI manifests as an "absent presence" in urban environments, the "reciprocity deficits" that lead to distrust and conspiracy thinking as prominent tropes in everyday public discourse about AI.

Over the last decade, city streets have emerged as a primary site where everyday publics are confronted with new, machine-learning based technologies - in the form of automated cars, smart traffic lights, facial recognition, smart billboards, and the like.

The Contested Meanings of Responsible AI (chapter 2) speaks to 'Responsible AI' as being not a singular concept or effort with a fixed meaning & clear definitional boundaries, but a complex & dynamic ecosystem pervaded by tensions & interdependencies.
