Multi-scale Operation-assurance evaluation Tool for AI (MOT4AI) Systems

根据英国政府的一份报告(2019)，英国约50%的中小企业正在使用人工智能技术。政府呼吁提高人工智能系统的透明度，以确保它们得到合乎道德和公平的使用。我们还注意到，人工智能系统可能容易受到网络攻击，这可能会危及敏感数据或导致系统故障。它需要解决隐私、自主性和技术问题在我们生活中的作用。普华永道最近估计，本世纪30年代中期，英国高达30%的工作可以实现自动化；因此，技能提升和重新技能至关重要。该项目旨在开发一种智能工具，以评估人工智能系统的操作保证。我们将根据人工智能中小企业的术后风险，为**AI**(**MOT4AI**)系统开发**M**多尺度**O**操作保证评估**T**OOL。我们计划利用政府的人工智能保证和风险管理框架，如最近发布的NIST AI RMF 1.0，以确保最佳实践。我们将与20家地区性中小企业合作，专注于开发一个可扩展的系统，其中第一阶段将是一个基于网络的评估工具，用于根据欧盟人工智能法案下的风险识别、分析和评估保证水平。到目前为止，还没有一种智能工具来对中小企业的人工智能系统进行运营保证。这个项目将是物有所值的，因为它将通过保护中小企业的产出来帮助发展一个更繁荣、更可持续、更具包容性和弹性的社会的坚实基础：**经济增长**：支持中小企业可以通过创造新的就业机会、提高生产率和推动创新来促进经济增长。**社会效益**：创新企业可能会提供具有社会效益的产品或服务，如改善医疗保健、教育(提高技能/再技能)、或环境。**促进合乎道德和*负责任地使用人工智能**：它可以帮助对社会产生重大影响，英国政府有责任促进这些技术的合乎道德和负责任的使用。**国际竞争力**：通过确保英国公司处于创新和技术发展的前沿，支持创新企业可以帮助英国保持在全球经济中的竞争力。

According to a UK government report (2019), approximately 50% of SMEs in the UK were using AI technology. The government has called for greater transparency in AI systems to ensure they are used ethically and fairly. We also noted that AI systems could be vulnerable to cyberattacks, which could compromise sensitive data or cause the systems to malfunction. It needs to address privacy, autonomy, and the role of technology issues in our lives. PwC recently estimated that the mid-2030s could automate up to 30% of UK jobs; therefore, upskilling and reskilling are essential.This project aims to develop an intelligent tool to evaluate the operational assurance of AI systems. We will develop a **M**ulti-scale **O**peration-assurance evaluation **T**ool for **AI** (**MOT4AI**) systems based on the postoperative risks of AI-enabled SMEs. We plan to utilise government AI assurance and risk management frameworks such as the recently released NIST AI RMF 1.0 to ensure best practices.Working with 20 regional SMEs, we will focus on developing a scalable system in which phase one will be a web-based evaluation tool to identify, analyse and evaluate the level of assurance based on the risk following the EU AI Act. So far, there has yet to be an intelligent tool to conduct operational assurance of AI Systems for SMEs.This project would represent value for money as it would assist in the development of a strong foundation for a more prosperous, sustainable, inclusive, and resilient society through protecting SMEs' outputs with trust to build:**Economic growth**: Supporting SMEs can contribute to economic growth by creating new jobs, increasing productivity, and driving innovation.**Social benefits**: Innovative businesses may offer products or services that have social benefits, such as improving healthcare, education (upskills/reskills), or the environment.**Promoting ethical and** **responsible use of AI**: It can help significant impacts on society, and the UK government has a responsibility to promote the ethical and responsible use of these technologies.**International competitiveness**: Supporting innovative businesses can help the UK to remain competitive in the global economy by ensuring that UK companies are at the forefront of innovation and technological development.
