The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions he has had with the Regulatory Innovation Office on the AI Opportunities Action Plan since July 2024.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO) has contributed to the development of the AI Opportunities Action Plan and will continue to collaborate on delivering its commitments. As set out in the Action Plan, the UK’s proportionate, flexible regulatory approach is a crucial enabler for realising the government’s ambitions on artificial intelligence. Through advancing regulatory innovation, the RIO will play a key role in bringing new technologies across a range of sectors to the public faster and safely.
