AI Ethics and Governance in Practice -- Free workbooks 

The UK's National AI Strategy recommended that the UK Government’s official Public Sector Guidance on AI Ethics and Safety be transformed into a series of practice-based workbooks.  

The result is the AI Ethics and Governance in Practice Programme.

This series of eight workbooks, alongside an interactive online platform, provides end-to-end guidance on how AI project teams can put ethical values and practical principles into practice across the AI project lifecycle, ensuring that AI is produced and used ethically, safely, and responsibly. Central to this guidance is the PBG Framework, designed to assist AI project teams in ensuring that the AI technologies they build, procure, or use are ethical, safe, and responsible.  

1. An introduction 
2. AI Sustainability in Practice Part 1: Foundations for Sustainable AI Projects 
3. AI Sustainability in Practice Part 2: Sustainability Throughout the AI Workflow 
4. AI Fairness in Practice
5. Responsible Data Stewardship in Practice 
6. AI Safety in Practice 
7. AI Explainability in Practice 
8. AI Accountability in Practice
