Description

This week’s guest is Myrna MacGregor. Myrna Macgregor leads BBC thinking on responsible AI/Machine Learning. She is focused on developing the right tools and resources to incorporate the BBC’s values and mission into the technology it builds. As a public policy specialist, she is particularly interested in work on AI/ML fairness, transparency, and accountability.

Here are the questions we asked Myrna:
1. Can you tell us a bit more about yourself and your current role at the BBC?
What led you here?
2. Can you please share a bit more about your background and career journey?
3. Can you tell us a little more about how you started building the BBC’s own framework (the Machine Learning Engine Principles and Checklist) and how you identified the tenets that needed to be considered in terms of promoting the Responsible use of AI?
4. What are the challenges of turning ethical principles into practice?
5. If you could share any tips or tricks for anyone starting out their careers within the field of AI and in particular, who has an interest in supporting the responsible development of technology, what would it be?
6. Where can our listeners keep up with you?
