    ‘move fast and break things’ describes Mr Zuckerberg’s approach to world-conquering technology, but also describes a toddler let loose in a new environment. If we’re serious about developing AI to shape the future, then we need to be grown-up about it; especially those of us in regulated industries - we need to try to ‘move fast’ where possible - but never, ever ‘break things’. Charles Radclyffe, the Head of AI at Fidelity describes how AI Ethics needs to be thought of as separate to Risk and Safety issues such as ‘explainability’, ‘transparency’ and bias; yet why it’s critical to get right if you are to win the trust of customers and colleagues in the quest for delivering AI innovation.

As other similar programs have since been announced (including more in the U.S.), regulators around the world, led by the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, have inquired into sandbox programs being leveraged as a means of facilitating more cross-border innovation. With the Arizona program’s success, American state regulators are poised to add their experience and expertise to cross-border trials and very well may be the best positioned agencies in the United States to facilitate testing in an area ripe for advancing innovation
