The Government response to recommendations of a commons committee on governance of AI agrees that AI-specific legislation is needed and that it will consult on legislation that will apply to the still small number of organisations that are developing the most powerful frontier AI systems. It will also look to support sectoral regulatory initiatives, recognising that the existing experts are best places to apply rules to the use of AI in specific contexts, and it will put the AI Safety Institute on a statutory footing to strengthen its role.
The Government will shortly consult on its plans.
