The Future of AI Policy in the UK
On January 6, 2021, the UK’s AI Council – an independent government advisory body – published its AI Roadmap.
In addition to calling for a Public Interest Data Bill to ‘protect against automation and collective harms’, the Roadmap acknowledges the need to counteract public suspicion of AI and makes 16 recommendations, based on three main pillars, to guide the UK Government’s AI strategy.
The UK Government is currently considering its response to the AI Council’s recommendations and a draft strategy will be published for consultation later this year.
