Artificial Intelligence Policy Statement

Context

Artificial Intelligence, is a significant leap in the scope and capability of technology. It has the potential to be the most powerful force for good we have yet seen. Equally, unchecked and irresponsible implementation of AI systems could be catastrophic and divisive. As technologists, we have a unique responsibility, at Green Lemon Company, we are clear in our mission…

‘Safe, ethical and meaningful implementation of AI’

This statement is made in response to the rapid emergence of powerful and accessible technologies that seem to have acquired the single description of AI. This alone is confusing as AI is a broad toolset comprising of many different technologies.  Hence, we are working hard to demystify the AI landscape, including debunking a lot of mythology and misinformation with open sessions, learning events and workshops with our communities and partners.

Some Words from Our Board

“We want you and our staff, suppliers and communities to be part of our AI journey. To achieve this we are working with the entire AI spectrum of tools from chatbots to machine learning with openess, transparency and under the strictest ethical and data governance parameters…”

Matt Thompsett, CVO

Ethical AI Usage

AI must serve humanity, uphold human rights, and foster inclusivity.  Our AI solutions are crafted to enhance your experience, empower you, and drive positive social impact.

We design AI with the goal of avoiding harm, prioritising safety, and serving the public good.  By holding ourselves to high ethical standards, we ensure that our technology benefits society and respects your users.

Addressing Bias

AI systems can inadvertently perpetuate existing biases, and we take this challenge seriously.  To counter this, we have rigorous processes in place to identify, mitigate, and minimise biases in our AI models.

Our teams are dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that our AI applications remain fair and unbiased, ultimately promoting a more equitable experience for you.

Accessible Technology

We are committed to making technology accessible for all, adhering to the WCAG standards wherever possible.

Our designers and developers work diligently to create solutions that meet or exceed accessibility guidelines, fostering inclusivity and ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can benefit from our technology.

We actively encourage you to view accessibility as a standard ‘best practice’ and support you in integrating it into your digital strategies.

Data Privacy

The privacy and security of your data are paramount.  We adhere to the highest standards of data protection and comply with all relevant regulations, including GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, PECR, FOIA, IPA, NIS Regulations, Children’s Code, Human Rights Act 1998, Digital Economy Act 2017, RIPA, EC Directive Regulations, and the UK Data Sharing Code of Practice.

We anonymise data used in our AI systems whenever possible and implement robust safeguards to prevent unauthorised access or misuse.  We collect and use data transparently, empowering you to understand and control your information.

Transparency and Openness

Transparency is essential to building trust, and we are committed to making our AI practices clear and understandable for you.  We provide accessible explanations of our AI systems, the data they use, and their decision-making processes.

You have the right to provide feedback and request reviews, ensuring accountability in AI-driven decisions.  We welcome your questions and are open to answering any inquiries, giving you the information needed to understand how our AI technologies impact you.

Continuous Improvement

AI is constantly evolving, and so are we.  We engage with diverse stakeholders and AI experts to refine our practices, ensuring our solutions remain fair, responsible, and trustworthy.

By staying ahead of the curve, we continue to modernise your applications, drive innovation, and improve our AI practices.  As new AI capabilities emerge, we look forward to augmenting even more processes, applications, and workflows, enhancing both our internal efficiency and the value we bring to you.
