The government’s AI governance regime is coming together but needs business input to help the UK fully realise AI innovation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already helping to overcome complex societal and economic challenges. More AI adoption will boost productivity whilst contributing to addressing labour shortages, climate change and a stretched healthcare system.
While the UK needs to maximise the opportunity of AI, with increased adoption comes increased scrutiny. The Prime Minister’s recognition that “AI has an incredible potential to transform our lives for the better. But we need to make sure it is developed and used in a way that is safe and secure,” is welcome. Safe AI, however, should not mean less AI. Businesses want to adopt AI but are struggling to navigate.
To support improved AI governance several workstreams are underway, the outcomes of which will have permanent ramifications for UK business:
- The white paper on AI Regulation: a pro-innovation approach
- A global summit on AI safety to be hosted in the UK
- An AI task force
