United Kingdom: Government Office for Science published AI 2030 Scenarios report including data protection 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 underline the importance of data protection regulation in the context of advancing AI capabilities. As the volume and sensitivity of data processed by AI models increase, the report points to data governance as an area where policymakers may need to review standards for privacy, data use, and cross-border transfers, taking account of both individual rights and broader societal considerations.
