Select committee: Communications and Digital Committee

Recommendation 7

1st Report - Large language models and generative AI Published 2 Feb 2024 Paragraph 49
Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend enhanced governance measures in DSIT and regulators to mitigate the risks of inadvertent regulatory capture and groupthink. This should apply to internal policy work, industry engagements and decisions to commission external advice. Options include metrics to evaluate the impact of new policies and standards on competition; embedding red teaming, systematic challenge and external critique in policy processes; more training for officials to improve technical know-how; and ensuring proposals for technical standards or benchmarks are published for consultation.
