Abstract
Innovation and Opportunity: Review of the UK’s National AI Strategy
Highlights
The publication of the UK’s National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy [1] represents a step-change in the national industrial, policy, regulatory, and geo-strategic agenda
Talk is mainly of ‘revision’ and ‘review’, the signal is that the UK is seeking to position itself as less stringent regarding data protection
‘This National AI Strategy will signal to the world our intention to build the most pro-innovation regulatory environment in the world’
Summary
The publication of the UK’s National AI Strategy [1] represents a step-change in the national industrial, policy, regulatory, and geo-strategic agenda. We read the National AI Strategy as a vision for innovation (research, SMEs) and opportunity (industry, economy), underpinned by a trust framework that has such innovation and opportunity at the forefront of any standard and regulatory framework In this white paper, we provide an overview of the structure of the document and offer an emphasised commentary on various standouts A potential move away from the European approach might have global implications as the GDPR holds some sway outside of the EU as well (since any business dealing with the bloc has to adhere to the rules when managing European’s data) This raises the question—is the National AI Strategy pro-innovation or is it, a step back in terms of data protection rights? Accountability to citizens: any replacement system does need to retain the intrinsic concept of ‘privacy by design’ whilst potentially rebalancing and reframing the systems that achieve this
