Examine powers of UK regulators and case for AI-specific legislation in AI governance

Recommendation
Should our successor Committee wish to examine the governance of AI, we recommend it considers: • The powers, coordination mechanisms and capacity of UK regulators to respond to the growing prevalence of AI in their sectors; Legacy – Parliament 2019–24 73 • The case for AI-specific legislation in the UK, and what lessons can be learned from other jurisdictions as they implement their own approaches to AI governance; • The commitments outlined at the AI Safety Summit and AI Seoul Summit, and their implementation by Governments and leading developers; • The current and potential future deployment of AI in the public sector, its benefits and any associated risks; • The potential consequences of widespread AI deployment on current and future employment trends, and how to equip workers of the future with the skills to engage critically with the technology; and • How future administrations respond to the Twelve Challenges of AI Governance highlighted in our interim Report.
