Another AI initiative from the UK Government: the Department for Science, Technology and Innovation has announced more than £100 million in funding to support research and regulation for the technology. Notable that it has announced the two workstreams together. Last week the House of Lords Digital and Communications Committee said the Government had spoken too much about the risks and not enough about the great potential in AI, but this new announcement seems designed to convey that it has both sides in mind and is aiming to create the right balance for the safe and responsible use of the technology. https://lnkd.in/ekN-kczM #ai #regulation #ukgovernment

Discover how the new risk-based approach is set to transform AI regulation across all EU Member States. This comprehensive framework addresses high-risk AI systems, prohibited AI practices, and general-purpose AI models, ensuring uniform standards and enhanced safety.

CDT Europe’s AI Bulletin has just been published! 🤖 Your must-read for everything AI-related in Europe… This edition includes: 🔵 The next steps for the EU’s AI Act have been coming into sharper focus. Our Bulletin has the latest on when the Act will come into force, the dates that various sections of the Act will begin to apply, as well as deadlines for specific actions. 🔵 The AI Act’s governance ecosystem has also been set in motion; we have the details of the various bodies such as the AI Office, the AI Board - both of which have been established, as well as the remaining structures created by the Act but not yet up and running. 🔵 Whilst the formal governance structures are being set up, the vital work of civil society in scrutinising AI and its regulation continues - not least by CDT Europe, with a recent workshop. We have more on this, as well as other news from the world of AI… Read the full Bulletin here: https://lnkd.in/eEpwPRaK Sign up so that you don’t miss any future editions: https://lnkd.in/eWJiPpsh #AIAct #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AINews

Cracking the Code – Exploring AI Act for High-Risk AI Systems As days go by, artificial intelligence (“AI”) continues to delve into our daily life. It is one of the reasons determining the representatives of the European Union (“EU”) to become pro-active in regulating its use, in particular in relation to AI systems. In this context, on July 12th, 2024, the long-awaited Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence and amending Regulations (EC) No 300/2008, (EU) No 167/2013, (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) 2019/2144 and Directives 2014/90/EU, (EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2020/1828 (Artificial Intelligence Act)[1] (the “AI Act” or the “Regulation“) was published in the Official Journal of EU. The AI Act introduces a new risk-based approach that will uniformly apply across all Member States and establishes a comprehensive framework in relation to AI systems, including high-risk AI systems, prohibited AI practices and general-purpose AI models. Regarding the next steps, the AI Act will enter into force on August 1st, 2024, and it will be fully applicable from August 2nd, 2026 (with certain exceptions).

Today marks a historic moment for the regulation of artificial intelligence. The EU AI Act, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at ensuring the safe and responsible use of AI, has been officially published in the EU Official Journal! 🎉 What Does This Mean? Entry into Force: The AI Act will officially enter into force in just 20 days, setting the wheels in motion for a comprehensive framework governing AI systems across the European Union. Transition Period: Most provisions of the Act will become applicable after a 24-month transition period, meaning the full impact of the regulation will be felt starting on August 2nd, 2026. This transition period allows businesses and organizations time to adapt and align their AI practices with the new requirements. Stay tuned for the different key Deadlines to Remember! August 1st, 2024: The AI Act enters into force. August 2nd, 2026: The majority of the AI Act provisions become applicable. https://lnkd.in/eTzVsnAA

💻 Upcoming webinar: Operationalising the UK’s AI regulation principles: expert perspectives on the role of standards This event will explore ongoing Turing research mapping and assessing the role of individual standards for operationalising the UK's AI white paper principles. The research aims to support industry and regulatory bodies to identify where standards can play a role in achieving the objectives defined by the UK’s AI regulation principles (e.g., through informing AI governance processes and regulatory guidance). ➡ First, researchers from The Alan Turing Institute will present their assessment methodology and interim findings, highlighting where, and which standards can support the operationalisation of the white paper principles. ➡ Chris Thomas will then chair a discussion with Nuala Polo (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology), Dr Matilda Rhode (BSI), Annie Leith (Competition and Markets Authority) and Huw Roberts (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford), exploring findings from the research and sharing broader perspectives on the role of standards in the UK’s AI regulatory approach, identifying opportunities, and discussing gaps and challenges. This event is part of The Alan Turing Institute's #AIUK Fringe 2024, a series of events exploring key topics around data science and AI.

Majority of Brits don't trust the government to regulate AI. 📍 Two-thirds of the UK believe the government do not understand emerging technologies – such as AI – enough to adequately regulate them, new research claims. The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer – an annual mass survey of public opinion on various institutions – revealed that in the UK, there is considerable anxiety over the government and businesses’ ability to manage the rise of new innovative technologies. #government #ai #research #business #technology #regulations #UKtech
