For instance, in March, the U.K. government released a white paper promoting the country as a place to “turbocharge growth” in AI. Clearer rights and new institutions are needed to ensure that safeguards extend across the economy,” Matt Davies and Michael Birtwistle of the Ada Lovelace Institute wrote. Both groups are essentially calling for more clarity around AI regulation, but the U.K. government is focusing on being “pro-innovation,” while the Ada Lovelace Institute promotes an emphasis on oversight. “The U.K. seems to be waiting to see how implementation and reception of the EU’s AI Act should influence their approach towards AI regulations,” said Kierce-Iturrioz. “While this makes sense on the surface, there are risks to sitting back while others move ahead on AI regulation.”
