The UK has pushed a pause on artificial intelligence (AI) regulations as the government is under twin pressure from people who fear the growth potential of unregulated AI and the top need to create growth. The long-term postponement of the law means that the UK is sitting on the fence between the US federal deregulation policy and the EU’s groundbreaking AI law. What does this mean for an organization that wants consistency and clarity?
The city reported the delay, telling the paper that “three labor (party) sources” “the much-anticipated AI bill will be pushed back until at least the summer of 2025.” However, many experts believe it is unlikely to appear this year. The UK government had planned to require large-scale language modeling (LLM) AI companies such as Openai, the owner of ChatGPT, to submit models for testing by the UK AI Safety Institute. This is currently being postponed indefinitely.
Last month, the UK also formed an alliance with the US by refusing to sign an international AI declaration at Paris’ global AI summit, opposing EU countries, and signing others, including India and China. The declaration pledged that signatories pursue “open”, “comprehensive” and “ethical” AI development.
