What are young people's attitudes towards AI and data science?

[jessieontherun]

Story description

Please provide a high level description of the Turing Data Story In February 2022, the Events & Engagement team worked with the BSA's Future Forums to survey 2000 young people on their views towards AI and data science in society. This included 4 x face-to-face workshops with 40 young people and a professional facilitator. We asked the young people to explain their views towards new technologies and where they would like to see money invested.

Interested in the comments from those who do not believe AI will or currently is affecting them; AI does not exist; etc...

Which datasets will you be using in this Turing Data Story?

• Aggregated data from the 2000 surveyed
• Raw data (full responses from each individual) from the 2000 surveyed
• Quantitative data from workshops (currently closed but will look into opening) - JW and JS need to speak to FF and agree to publish this externally - we need to figure out how we anonymise the raw data

Additional context

• Could we involve some of the young people who were surveyed

Ethical guideline

Ideally a Turing Data Story has these properties and follows the 5 safes framework.

• [ ] The analysis you produce is openly available and reproducible.
• [ ] Any data used are open and have an explicit licence, provenance and attribution.
• [ ] Any data used are not personal data (i.e. the data is anonymous or anonymised).
• [ ] Any linkage of datasets in your data story does not lead to an increased risk of the personal identification of individuals.
• [ ] The Story must be truthful and clear about any limitations of analysis (and potential biases in data).
• [ ] The Story will not lead to negative social outcomes, such as (but not limited to) increasing discrimination or injustice.

Current status

• [X] Scoping of the story
• [ ] Write story outline
• [ ] Add material to the story notebook
• [ ] Combine materials into a readable story
• [ ] Proofread
• [ ] Request reviews
• [ ] Address reviews
• [ ] Merge to master branch.

Update from Jessie (forgot to park it here):

Thanks so much for the session yesterday, really looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

We agreed in the contract with Future Forums that the data collected would be open source. I’ve copied and pasted the relevant part in the contract:

The BSA agrees to publish the raw data collected from the survey, so that it may be used by others.

So we have no external barriers to moving forward. Please let me know if there is anything I can do next to help move things along.

@jessieontherun has both summary and individual responses, @crangelsmith I put them in an email to you, until we're absolutely sure it's open open
