Abstract or Description
In May 2024, Arts Council England’s Executive Board approved three research and development projects to explore how to respond to the growing impact of AI on the Arts Council and the wider creative and cultural sector. These projects focused on:
1. How the Arts Council can use AI responsibly internally.
2. How it can help the creative and culture sector understand and manage the opportunities and challenges of AI.
3. How it can contribute to shaping national AI policy in the UK.
This report focuses on the first project: how the Arts Council is using AI responsibly in its internal work. We’re sharing our approach to be transparent (a key part of our new AI Policy).
The report explains how the Arts Council has:
-Set up a governance structure to oversee the use of AI
-Created an internal AI policy to guide staff in using AI tools
-Monitored software licences to understand how staff are using AI
-Published a public statement about how AI is used in the grant-making process
-Launched pilot programmes to test how AI can be used in ways specific to the organisation
The report was written by Dr Oonagh Murphy and The New Technologies and Innovation Team.
