Britain wants to lead the world in AI regulation. But AI regulation is a rapidly evolving, contested policy space in which there\u2019s little agreement over what a good outcome would look like, let alone the best methods to get there. And being the third most important hub of AI research in the world doesn\u2019t give you an awful lot of power when the first two are the US and China.<\/p>\n

How to slice through this Gordian knot? Simple: move swiftly and decisively to do \u2026 absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

The government will acknowledge on Tuesday that binding measures for overseeing cutting-edge AI development are needed at some point \u2013 but not immediately.

The Intellectual Property Office, the UK government\u2019s agency overseeing copyright laws, has been consulting with AI companies and rights holders to produce guidance on text and data mining, where AI models are trained on existing materials such as books and music.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the group of industry executives convened by the IPO that oversees the work has been unable to agree on a voluntary code of practice, meaning that it has returned the responsibility back to officials at the Department for Science Innovation and Technology.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s oversight board has found that a Facebook video wrongfully suggesting that the US president, Joe Biden, is a paedophile does not violate the company\u2019s current rules while deeming those rules \u201cincoherent\u201d and too narrowly focused on AI-generated content.<\/em><\/p>\n

The board, which is funded by Meta \u2013 Facebook\u2019s parent company \u2013 but run independently, took on the Biden video case in October in response to a user complaint about an altered seven-second video of the president.<\/em><\/p>\n
