United Kingdom: Rejected UK Artificial Intelligence Regulation Bill including data transparency regulation

On 30 May 2024, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation Bill was rejected automatically following the dissolution of Parliament. The Bill would have defined AI as technology enabling the programming or training of a device or software to perceive environments, interpret data using automated processing, and make recommendations, predictions or decisions. The Bill would have introduced AI principles such as safety, security and robustness, transparency and explainability, fairness, accountability and governance, contestability and redress. Furthermore, the Bill would have established a transparency requirement for persons involved in AI training, requiring them to record all third-party data and intellectual property used in the training and provide it to the AI Authority by these persons.
