Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
The Government recognises that strong central coordination will be essential for the delivery of our principles-based approach to regulating AI, in which individual regulators and departments will be responsible for regulatory policy and oversight. As set out in the AI regulation white paper, we are in the process of putting in place a suite of central support functions that will help to ensure we are developing a clear and coherent regulatory environment for AI. To this end, we have already established a central risk function, and are implementing a coordination function to work across government departments, as well as the wider regulatory landscape as a whole. We will provide further details on these functions in our forthcoming response to the white paper consultation Intellectual Property Recommendations
