Britain’s new Labour government is setting out to regulate the most powerful artificial intelligence models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a speech opening the new parliamentary session, King Charles outlined Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ambitious legislative agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It includes over 35 bills addressing diverse issues from housing to cybersecurity<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The government has announced its intention to develop legislation targeting the creators of advanced AI models, aiming to ensure proper oversight of these technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This move contrasts with the previous administration’s approach under Rishi Sunak, who sought to establish Britain as a global leader in AI safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunak’s tenure saw a major AI safety summit at Bletchley Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world\u2019s first AI Safety Institute was established under Sunak, focusing on cutting-edge models like OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nathan Benaich, founding partner of Air Street Capital, said: “AI labs will be collectively breathing a sigh of relief at the government’s decision not to rush ahead with frontier model regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Need Career Advice? <\/strong>Get employment skills advice at all levels of your career<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Under Sunak, oversight of AI was distributed among various regulators rather than through specific regulations targeting the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starmer’s government has pledged to enact new AI laws but is adopting a measured approach to their implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Benaich said: “The UK’s cautious, sector-based approach to AI regulation remains a crucial competitive advantage versus the EU, and any moves to change this regime should only be taken with the utmost caution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow us on <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>X<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>LinkedIn<\/strong><\/a>, and <\/strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Britain’s new Labour government is setting out to regulate the most powerful artificial intelligence models, though it has yet to propose specific legislation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":62804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[414,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk-business-news","category-business-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
