"Given the opportunities that AI offers, we know we have a crucial role to play in helping innovators develop safe and trustworthy new products and services. We've published a wealth of guidance in this area, as well as practical support to innovators through our Regulatory Sandbox.
"But in a fast moving area like AI, there is always more that can be done, and we welcome the focus this report will bring. We'll continue prioritising our work in this area - including guidance we're working on including on personal data processing relating to AI as a service - and look forward to discussing the recommendations within the report with our DRCF partners and Government.”
