Creating deep engagement with our community around AI and Data

About This Project

Summary

Camden manages data across 600+ business areas to enhance decision-making and implement early interventions in public health and social care. To build community trust, Camden introduced the "Data Charter," co-creating ethical AI data standards with our community. This initiative has influenced both local and international governments including United Nations, The Equality and Human Rights Commission, UCL and The Alan Turing Institute all using this as an example of best practice.

Goals & Objectives

We wanted to move past ethical window dressing to deliver deep and consistent engagement with our community. This meant demystifying complex AI and data concepts to tackling digital divide challenges and managing public perceptions around AI shaped by a sometimes sensationalist media landscape.

Results & Impact

Built a representative panel and invested in AI/data training for them, created an AI campus with Google for disadvantaged students, hired a Chief Data Officer, published data-sharing agreements, integrated new principles into procurement, created accessible data explainers, and advised others orgs
