Amanda Brock, CEO of OpenUK welcomed the focus on the largest AI models: “Our Labour government is well-advised to tread carefully with its AI bill capturing those who empower the most powerful AI, ensuring not to close market opportunities or limit UK innovation. The bill’s focus being appropriately narrow and from a safety lens, regulating only the largest Models, is well received,” she said.
“For the UK to stay relevant globally, and to build successful AI companies, openness is crucial. This will allow the UK ecosystem to grow its status as a world leader in open source AI, behind only the US and China.”
