New advisory service to help businesses launch AI and digital innovations
Summary
Backed by over £2 million in UK Government funding, the streamlined service is intended to make it easier for businesses to get the help they need, by bringing together the different regulators involved in the oversight of cross-cutting AI and digital technologies. “While safety is at the heart of our approach to regulation here in the UK, this new service will help businesses navigate the process of making sure they are compliant - supporting safe and responsible innovation. This pilot scheme will meet business demands for coordinated support and help innovators navigate regulations, so they can spend more time developing cutting edge new products. It will bring together key countries, as well as leading technology organisations, academia, and civil society to inform rapid national and international action at the frontier of Artificial Intelligence development. The summit will also focus on how safe AI can be used for public good and to improve people’s lives – from lifesaving medical technology to safer transport.
