The UKAI Women in AI Working Group is delighted to launch the UKAI Women in AI Industry Guide on Fair AI (FAIRWAY) chaired by Baroness Manzila Uddin.
FAIRWAY is a responsible AI framework for protecting fair outcomes. The Working Group developed it with 48 contributors from industry, academia, civil society, legal and regulatory practice, HR, procurement and organisational design.
It isn’t another set of principles. It’s a practical framework that asks organisations to examine the choices around AI: who decides, what data shapes it, how much decision-making is delegated, how its impact is tested, and what happens when it goes wrong. It introduces the idea of Net AI Value: the gains AI can create, weighed against what organisations need to protect and the harms they need to mitigate.
The roundtable will bring together parliamentarians, regulators, industry leaders and practitioners. It will introduce the Guide, make the case that fairness in AI is a commercial and public-interest question as well as an ethical one, and build commitments to adoption and to the next phase of work.
The seven FAIRWAY elements
- F: Fair AI as a Strategy
- A: Acquiring AI Products
- I: Informed People
- R: Representative Governance
- W: What Does Your Data Reveal?
- A: Assurance
- Y: Your Right to Challenge
Discussion themes
- The question the Guide asks: will the way you adopt and use AI improve fair outcomes for people, and how will you know?
- Decision-making as the control: what organisations delegate to AI, and what happens to the people affected
- The commercial case for fairness: treating trust, judgement and inclusion as assets that AI can erode
- Representative governance and accountability: who needs to be in the room when AI decisions are made
- The gap between principles and protection: standards, assurance or statutory duties, and who should own them
