Answered by Feryal Clark
The Government has set out its intention to deliver on the manifesto commitment to introduce new, binding requirements on the handful of companies developing the most powerful AI models.
These proposals will build on the voluntary commitments secured at the Seoul and Bletchley AI Summits and will place the AI Safety Institute on a permanent footing, strengthening its role in advancing AI Safety.
The government recognises how important safety and trust is to capture AI opportunities. The AI Opportunities Action Plan recommends supporting AISI, strengthening regulators’ AI capabilities and supporting the AI assurance ecosystem to increase trust in AI.
