answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2023 answer text <p>The AI White Paper emphasised the importance of ensuring that UK regulators and public bodies have the capacity, expertise, and capabilities to implement government’s pro-innovation approach whilst recognising and understanding the risks. This is particularly true for those regulators for which AI falls squarely within their regulatory remit, but also applies to a much wider range of public and regulatory bodies considering the implications AI has across the economy.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport works with a number of regulators with responsibility for different modes of travel, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to the Civil Aviation Authority and Office of Rail and Road. As such, these regulators are responsible for overseeing the application of AI within their elements of the transport system and existing structures. Therefore, regulators do not all distinguish resource dedicated specifically to AI.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working closely with its regulators to ensure new and emerging applications of AI in transport are implemented safely and with effective regulation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/06/2023 14:44:16 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
