Conclusion
Taken together, existing UK laws that could apply to AI systems do so primarily at the point of deployment, so that deployers are the primary holders of responsibility for harms arising from AI systems. This means that existing laws do not take due account of the complexity of the AI lifecycle and supply chain and are not directed to the actor that may be best placed to identify and avert the source of risks. They are therefore likely to allow human rights harm that could have been prevented. (Conclusion, Paragraph 104)
