United Kingdom: Rejected UK Artificial Intelligence Regulation Bill including AI labelling obligations

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 labelling obligations for persons supplying a product or service involving AI. In particular, suppliers would have had to give their customers "clear and unambiguous health warnings, labelling and opportunities to give or withhold informed consent in advance."
