Government response

Government response (the government's words)
In light of the request made by the CSPL last year, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will be developing guidance for public authorities, on how to ensure any artificial intelligence work complies with the public sector equality duty, in the next financial year. This was put on hold following initial meetings in February 2020 between the EHRC, Alan Turing Institute and CDEI. The EHRC are planning to work closely with the Alan Turing Institute and CDEI on the guidance as soon as work recommences.
