o Create alliances between BAME and other minority tech groups and forward thinking leaders to ensure AI works for all;
Policy

o To move Ethics well beyond just fixing algorithms, to define what AI should and should not be used for in the bigger picture;
o Investigate governance models for the deployment of AI
Fairness
o Ensure AI does not amplify stereotypes and reinforce prejudices;
o Define design values to avoid AI mirroring existing power imbalances;
o Evaluate and develop policies to mitigate the impact of AI on jobs, especially in areas that harm women the most
