In a world of accelerating automation and algorithmic decision-making, can leaders harness innovation without losing public trust?In this episode of Tech Tomorrow, David Elliman speaks with Lord Clement-Jones, Liberal Democrat peer, former Chair of the House of Lords AI Select Committee, and co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on AI. Together, they explore how business leaders can align technological progress with human values and why doing so is not just ethical but essential for sustainable innovation.They unpack what ‘responsible AI’ really means in practice: from explainability and human oversight to data quality, fairness, and transparent governance. Lord Clement-Jones argues that regulation, far from stifling innovation, can actually enable it by creating the trust, certainty, and accountability businesses need to adopt AI confidently.The discussion also explores the roles of boards and executive committees, including why AI literacy is now a core competency, how to establish effective oversight mechanisms, and what it means to integrate ethics into AI design rather than retrofit it later. Drawing on his book Living with the Algorithm: Servant or Master?, Lord Clement-Jones reflects on how technology should serve humanity, not the other way around, and why progress must be measured by its benefits to people, not just profit.Episode Highlights:01:39 – Introducing Lord Clement-Jones.03:45 – Why Lord Clement-Jones decided to write Living with the Algorithm: Servant or Master.06:03 – What is the biggest risk that boards face if they don’t take into account societal responsibility in relation to AI?07:20 – David’s thoughts: Steps boards and executives can take to ensure they implement useful and trusted AI tools.08:39 – Defining ethical frameworks in AI.10:21 – What sort of skill sets do boards need to help them work effectively...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/pZGeZGCvOw_Nv7lFAAlALqQyorlxskmKcY0c0BIVihc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85NmFm/OWY2NWVkNWNjY2Rh/N2U4NDNlOGRiYmY5/NzgwOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
