The United Kingdom has unveiled a new regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, aimed at promoting innovation while ensuring public safety. Rather than introducing a single AI law, the UK will allow individual regulatory bodies—such as those in healthcare, finance, and education—to tailor rules according to sectoral needs.
The move is being closely watched by countries including India and the U.S., where AI regulation is still in discussion. British officials say the plan will help both local startups and international companies feel confident about deploying AI solutions.
With global concerns about job loss and misinformation driven by AI, the UK’s decentralized and “pro-innovation” stance is expected to influence digital policy globally.
