The UK government is set to introduce AI legislation that will specifically target foundation models. Tech Secretary Peter Kyle emphasized that the bill will not be a broad 'Christmas tree bill' but will instead focus on making existing voluntary agreements between tech firms and the government legally binding. This approach aims to ensure that companies adhere to safety commitments regarding the development of advanced AI models.
The legislation will also establish the AI Safety Institute as an independent body, enhancing oversight of AI development. This marks a significant shift from the previous government's more fragmented approach to AI regulation. The bill is expected to be ready for its first reading by the end of the year, with a consultation period anticipated to last about two months.
