As set out in the King’s Speech, the Government will establish legislation to ensure the safe development of AI models by introducing targeted requirements on companies developing the most powerful AI systems. This legislation will build on the voluntary commitments secured at the Seoul and Bletchley AI Safety Summits and will strengthen the role of the AI Safety Institute. As part of the development of this legislation, the Government will launch a full public consultation shortly, working with industry, AI experts, academics, and civil society to hone our proposals before presenting them to Parliament.
