The British government has put forward proposals for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), a package it promises deviates from the European Union by being a less centralised approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new plans for regulating how AI is used, unveiled in a press release on 18 July<\/a>, are meant to provide a consistent set of rules that \u201cpromote innovation in this groundbreaking technology and protect the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new AI paper published today outlines the government\u2019s approach to regulating the technology in the UK, with proposed rules addressing future risks and opportunities so businesses are clear how they can develop and use AI systems and consumers are confident they are safe and robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach is based on six core principles that regulators must apply, with flexibility to implement these in ways that best meet the use of AI in their sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposals focus on supporting growth and avoiding unnecessary barriers being placed on businesses. This could see businesses sharing information about how they test their AI\u2019s reliability as well as following guidance set by UK regulators to ensure AI is safe and avoids unfair bias.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rulebook compliments incoming Bill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The proposals came at the same time a Data Protection and Digital Information Bill was being introduced to parliament, which included measures to use AI responsibly that would simultaneously reduce the level of compliance necessary for businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, regulators in the country, such as the communications regulator Ofcom<\/a> and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)<\/a>, will apply six principles to oversee AI in a range of contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Digital Minister Damian Collins said: \u201cIt is vital that our rules offer clarity to businesses, confidence to investors and boost public trust. Our flexible approach will help us shape the future of AI and cement our global position as a science and tech superpower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important, but complicated sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UK is already home to a thriving AI sector, leading Europe and third in the world for levels of private investment after domestic firms attracted $4.65 billion last year. Research has shown 1.3 million UK businesses will be using artificial intelligence and investing over \u00a3200 billion in the technology by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a complex system of laws to navigate, businesses can become confused by the latest EU laws. Overlaps, inconsistencies and gaps can bring up further problems for companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De-centralised approach to regulating AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The government claims that instead of giving a centralised body control over regulating AI, like the EU is doing through its AI Act<\/a>, its strategy will allow different regulators to take a tailored approach to using AI in a range of settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
