Another bauble for the tree?

The UK government has today (05 September 2024) joined the US, EU and other countries in signing the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law. Handley Gill’s specialist artificial intelligence (AI) consultants consider the implications of this statement of intent for the UK’s current and proposed legislation as announced in the King’s Speech 2024, and what new laws and amendments will be necessary to enable the UK to meet the AI Treaty’s obligations.

A Herculean Labour?

Handley Gill’s specialist consultants consider what a Labour Party AI Bill, announced in the King’s Speech on 17 July 2024, will regulate, considering its manifesto commitments and the TUC’s proposed Artificial Intelligence (Employment and Regulation) Bill, and contrasting with Lord Holmes’ Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill which fell at the dissolution of the last Parliament and the EU’s AI Act.
