Mathematical models are used to inform decisions across many sectors including climate change, finance, and epidemics. But as Erica Thompson explains in this Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture, models are not perfect representations of the real world – they are partial, uncertain and often biased.  What, then, does responsible modelling look like?  And how can we apply this ethical framework to new AI modelling methods?
