Apply lessons learned from other jurisdictions to UK's distinct AI governance approach.

HM Government Acknowledged
The Government is committed to making the UK a world leader in AI, to drive economic renewal, boost living standards, and deliver growth for people across the country. effectively tackle cross-border challenges that AI poses. We will continue to engage closely with our international partners, including the US and EU, as we further develop our approach to AI governance including our legislative proposals. As the Committee has noted, through the AI Safety Summit and AI Seoul Summit the UK has demonstrated international leadership on frontier AI safety, bringing together international partners to build consensus on the safe development and deployment of AI. We have also built world-leading state capacity in AI safety through our AI Safety Institute, which is furthering the science of AI safety through the Network of AISIs. We will continue to build on this work with our partners, both at the upcoming AI Action Summit in France, and in a range of multilateral fora. We champion the multi-stakeholder, industry-led standards development process, where Government is one of the stakeholders in that ecosystem. We want to promote a robust and diverse digital standards ecosystem, strengthening and building international partners to foster collaboration and promote integrity in standards development. In regards to standards specifically government recognises that AI standards, including those used in assurance and certification schemes, can help organisations put our proposed regulatory principles into practice, innovate responsibly, and build public confidence. Standards can also complement sector-specific approaches to AI regulation by providing common benchmarks and practical guidance to organisations. The UK’s AI Standards Hub is a partnership between the Alan Turing Institute, British Standards Institution and National Physical Laboratory, supported by DSIT. The UK’s AI Standards Hub is built upon 4 pillars, Tracking and sharing information on AI standards; Convening, connecting, and community building; Education, training, and professional development; Thought leadership & international engagement Twelve challenges of AI governence revisited Government response to Committee recommendations 32 – 33
