<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>
