Could the UK establish a new regulator for AI (similar to the Financial Conduct Authority or Environment Agency)? What structure should such an institution have? This question may be especially important because the UK civil service tends to hire generalists, in a way which could plausibly make UK AI policy substantially worse.
I wrote some coverage here of this bill which seeks to do this, which may be useful for people exploring the above. Also well worth watching and not particularly well covered right now is how AUKUS will affect AI Governance internationally. I’m currently preparing a deeper dive on this as a post, but for people researching UK-specific governance it’s a good head start to look at these areas as ones where not a lot of people are directing effort.
This is a useful list, thank you for writing it.
