Recommendation 28
28
Paragraph: 130
UK's distinct AI approach significant despite potential US and EU regulatory effects.
Conclusion
It is true that the size of both the United States and European Union markets may mean that ‘the Washington effect’ and ‘Brussels effect’—referring to the de facto standardising of global regulatory approaches, potentially to the detriment of the UK’s distinct approach—will apply to AI governance. Nevertheless, the distinctiveness of the UK’s approach and the success of the AI Safety Summit have underlined the significance of its current and future role.
