Trust and transparency are essential parts of the government’s new National AI Strategy.

The government said it is aiming to build the “most trusted and pro-innovation system for AI governance in the world”.

It will establish a governance framework that addresses the challenges and opportunities of AI, while being “flexible, proportionate and without creating unnecessary burdens”.

The governance framework will:

  • publish the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation assurance roadmap and use this to continue work to develop a mature AI assurance ecosystem in the UK;
  • pilot an AI standards hub to coordinate UK engagement in AI standardisation globally;
  • develop a cross-government standard for algorithmic transparency;
  • work with The Alan Turing Institute to update the guidance on AI ethics and safety in the public sector;
  • coordinate cross-government processes to accurately assess long-term AI safety and risks, including the evaluation of technical expertise in government; and
  • work with national security, defence, and leading researchers to understand how to anticipate and prevent catastrophic risks.
