Detail
The AI regulation white paper sets out the government’s proposals for implementing a proportionate, future-proof and pro-innovation framework for regulating AI.
In the consultation, we’re seeking feedback on the proposals, including:
- our revised cross-sectoral principles, including safety and transparency
- a statutory duty requiring regulators to have due regard to the cross-sectoral principles
- new central functions that focus on coherence across the regulatory landscape, cross-sectoral risk, and monitoring and evaluation
- additional education and awareness support for consumers, businesses, and regulators
- the allocation of legal responsibility for AI throughout the value chain
- approaches to the regulation of foundation models
- an AI regulatory sandbox
We’re also inviting feedback on the related impact assessment.
We welcome views from businesses, investors, regulators, academics, consumer groups and trade associations, but the consultation is open to anyone who has an interest.
