The Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) advises Britain's oversight body for intelligence agencies on technological developments impacting investigatory powers. Chair Muffy Calder emphasizes the role of AI and highlights concerns around fairness, transparency, and bias. The TAP provides insights on automated speaker recognition technology and is tasked with ensuring that surveillance measures are balanced. Calder believes the expertise within the TAP, which includes academics and former spies, allows them to effectively engage with significant intelligence organizations like GCHQ and MI5.
People are very rightly raising issues of fairness, transparency and bias, but they are not always unpicking them and asking what this means in a technical setting.
We have a broad range of expertise, and all of our expertise overlaps. I don't want to use the word polymath, but I have just said it.
