Regulators expected to detail AI capacity, expertise, and resource requirements to Committee.
Conclusion
We ask each of the regulators referred to by the Government in its recent White Paper to write to this Committee setting out what capacity, expertise and established policy it has in respect of the application of AI in the workplace and to set out what additional resources are required to deliver this new area of responsibility. We ask those regulators to write to this Committee no later than three months following publication of this report.

HM Government · verbatim extract
Deferred
The Government recognises the strong stakeholder interest in the activities of regulators across the AI landscape and the ensuing importance of transparency in the capacity, expertise, and policy capabilities they have in respect of the application of AI across different remits and contexts. The Government is actively liaising with regulators on this issue as part of the ongoing white paper consultation and will inform relevant bodies of this recommendation. We welcome any further steps regulators take to engage Parliament, although as independent bodies, it will be for them to decide if and how they intend to do this. The Government will continue to work with regulators and parliamentarians to ensure the most effective ways to improve regulator access to expertise as the AI framework is implemented.
