answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2023 answer text <p>We have today (Wednesday 29 March) published our White paper outline our approach for the regulation of AI. Our approach to AI regulation is proportionate, and is focused on real risks, minimising unnecessary compliance burdens on businesses while protecting people and our fundamental values.</p><p>AI has to date been regulated indirectly by overlapping frameworks, such as data protection and competition, and sectoral regulators, such as FCA and Ofcom. In some cases this led to confusion, gaps, and complexities. The 2021 National AI Strategy made the case for greater coherence, clarity, and coordination in the regulation of AI.</p><p>Engagement with a wide range of stakeholders has been incredibly important during the progress of our work on AI regulation. We have engaged with a wide array of thought leaders across the international AI ecosystem, and engaged with businesses, regulators, research organisations and civil society groups. Many of these stakeholders are very supportive of our approach to AI regulation.</p><p>The White Paper we published today sets out a set of principles that regulators should follow when thinking about AI. These are: 1. Safety, security and robustness; 2. Appropriate transparency and explainability; 3. Fairness; 4. Accountability and governance; 5. Contestability and redress.</p><p>We encourage any stakeholders with an interest in the topic to respond to our consultation.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 29/03/2023 13:15:26 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
