Details

In the National AI Strategy, the government committed to develop a pro-innovation national position on governing and regulating AI. The UK is a world leader in many aspects of AI, but there is more to do to harness the enormous economic and societal benefits of AI while also addressing the complex challenges it presents. This policy paper represents our emerging proposals for regulating AI, and includes a call for views which we will use as we develop our white paper.

Establishing clear, innovation-friendly and flexible approaches to regulating AI will be core to achieving our ambition to unleash growth and innovation while safeguarding our fundamental values and keeping people safe and secure. Our approach will drive business confidence, promote investment, boost public trust and ultimately drive productivity across the economy.
