The UK government is developing a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence safety, led by the AI Safety Institute and Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, with cross-government coordination including national security and international dimensions. The policy aims to establish independent safety assessments and assurance mechanisms for high-risk AI systems, building on the Bletchley Declaration from the November 2023 AI Safety Summit. Current work includes developing a roadmap for trusted third-party AI assurance and establishing the AI Security Institute.
This strategy sets out 15 actions government will take to cement the UK’s position as a global leader in AI-enabled science breakthroughs.
A plan to create new jobs and career pathways for aspiring AI assurance professionals, equipping organisations with the essential skills to innovate safely.
