A key recommendation for the UK Government is to establish a standing citizens’ assembly on AI and society. A citizens’ assembly is a group made up of members of the public, selected through a process of random sampling designed to reflect the demographic makeup of the wider population, to explore societal issues and make policy recommendations.
