In a recent podcast hosted by Sci-Tech Daresbury, Pauline Norstrom, founder of Anekanta®AI, joined experts from IBM and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to explore the future of Responsible AI. The participants provided valuable insights on leadership readiness in an AI-driven world.

At Anekanta® we focus on maximising the opportunities and balancing the risks arising from the development and use of high-risk AI. The definition of high-risk AI is that which poses a risk to the health, safety and fundamental rights of individuals. A range of use cases are defined in the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) Annex III across sectors and domains including biometrics, critical infrastructure, education and vocational training, employment, workers’ management and access to self-employment, access to and enjoyment of essential private services and essential public services and benefits, law enforcement and administration of justice and democratic processes.
Additionally, we support a range of sectors concerned about high-risk governance requirements primarily set out in the EU AI Act Chapter III. Further to EU AI Act requirements, the implementation of the foundational principles for trustworthy AI, originated in the OECD, blended with good board governance practice are of interest to all sectors, and specifically those which process personal data and whose activities may have a biased effect on groups underrepresented in data. Furthermore, by modelling commercial existential risk, we identify the potential show stoppers which may result in a great AI application opportunity being permanently confined to the status of ‘pilot’. To find out how we can help you balance opportunity and risk for the maximum return get in touch today.
The EU AI Act is in force – how will industry prepare for its requirements?
The EU have legislated to address the evidence of AI harms experienced in Europe, such as self-learning discrimination revealed by Amnesty International in their report 'Xenophobic Machines' - through a flexible framework which reduces the risk of harms occurring in the future while stimulating innovation. Find out what the new regulations mean for industry.
Demystifying AI for Business Leaders: Understanding the Power and Pitfalls
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the business landscape. From facial recognition software in retail stores to threat detection in social media, AI applications are impacting a wide range of industries. However, for many leaders, AI remains a complex and somewhat nebulous concept.
Preparing for the EU AI Act – guidance for AI biometrics developers and users
The EU's groundbreaking EU AI Act is poised to significantly impact companies developing or using biometric AI products within the European market. Here's why biometric AI companies should take notice.
Responsible AI leaders discuss ‘The Global Race to Regulate AI’ from EU, UK and USA perspectives
Last month, the EAIGG: Ethical AI Governance Group convened an informative and insightful debate about the different approaches to AI regulation from EU, UK and USA perspectives. Find out more from global leaders in Responsible AI.
Showcasing Anekanta®’s Leadership in High-risk AI and Biometrics
Anekanta®AI have developed a number of independent, vendor agnostic ethical AI governance frameworks expertly designed to assess the safety of high-risk AI development and deployment and its impact on stakeholders. Here is the background to our work in this area.
Anekanta® recognised for ethical and responsible AI development and implementation
We are proud to announce the release of a ground breaking new British Standard "Facial recognition technology - Ethical use and deployment in video surveillance-based systems – Code of practice (BS 9347:2024)" Anekanta® Privacy Impact Risk Assessment System™, de-risks FRT use cases anywhere in the world and recommends the new standard for UK mitigation purposes.
Examining the ‘cost-benefit’ of adopting AI within your business
By adopting Responsible AI practice, businesses can unlock the transformative power of AI technology while minimizing risks and maintaining stakeholder trust. Anekanta® recommends that organisations start their AI policy and AI Management System Implementation (BS ISO/IEC 42001) alongside legal (EU AI Act) and regulatory considerations dependent on the regions where the business operates or uses AI decisions.
What does the new legal definition of AI systems mean in practice for commercial use cases?
Organisations may not be certain whether their systems are AI due to the range of contrasting views from vendors and buyers. It is important that they recognise and categorise these systems as soon as possible. Developers, providers and user/deployers of AI systems which meet the EU AI Act definition criteria, and whose decisions are utilised within the EU, have to comply with the law.

Organisations are urged to review their development road maps and current use cases to determine whether their AI systems sit in the prohibited and high risk categories
