<p>The inherent cross-border nature of the digital ecosystem means it is imperative
we work closely with partners. This is in order to prevent a fragmented global market,
ensure interoperability and promote the responsible development of AI internationally.</p><p>Many
businesses developing and using AI are operating across different jurisdictions, and
we recognise the importance of working with global partners to develop a responsive
and compatible system of global AI governance, allowing the UK and others to engage
meaningfully on cross-border AI risks and opportunities. This will support our vision
for a global ecosystem that promotes innovation and responsible development and use
of technology, underpinned by our shared values of freedom, fairness, and democracy.</p><p>The
<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-regulation-a-pro-innovation-approach/white-paper"
target="_blank">UK AI Regulation White Paper</a>, published in March 2023, recognises
the critical role of international collaboration and coordination in AI governance,
and prioritises laying the foundations for interoperability: ensuring AI systems can
work together as required and that processes are complementary and robust. This will
include the role of tools for trustworthy AI such as technical standards and assurance
techniques to reduce technical barriers to trade and increase market access.</p><p>The
UK is already playing a leading role in international discussions on AI ethics and
potential regulations, such as work at the Council of Europe, the OECD, UNESCO, the
Global Partnership on AI and the G7. The Government will continue to work with our
partners around the world to shape international norms and standards relating to AI,
including those developed by multilateral and multistakeholder bodies at global and
regional level, and to promote the safe and responsible development of AI.</p>
