United Kingdom: Government Office for Science published AI 2030 Scenarios report including unilateral conduct regulation recommendations

On 28 April 2025, the Government Office for Science published the AI 2030 Scenarios report as part of a broader series on Frontier AI: Capabilities and Risks. These guidelines for policymakers identify the possibility of a small number of technology firms exercising significant control over Frontier AI systems. In this context, the report indicates that policymakers should consider the role of unilateral conduct regulation in addressing market dynamics, including behaviours such as preferential treatment or exclusive access, which could influence competition and the broader distribution of AI benefits.
