- Over £100 million to support regulators and advance research and innovation on AI, including Hubs in healthcare and chemical discovery
- Key regulators asked to publish plans by end of April for how they are responding to AI risks and opportunities
- UK government makes case for introducing future targeted, binding requirements for most advanced general-purpose AI systems
The UK is on course for more agile AI regulation, backing regulators with the skills and tools they need to address the risks and opportunities of AI, as part of the government’s response to the AI Regulation White Paper consultation (6 February).
It comes as £10 million is announced to prepare and upskill regulators to address the risks and harness the opportunities of this defining technology. The fund will help regulators develop cutting-edge research and practical tools to monitor and address risks and opportunities in their sectors, from telecoms and healthcare to finance and education. For example, this might include new technical tools for examining AI systems.
