The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee said the £10 million allocated to regulators was ‘insufficient’.

Artificial intelligence regulators in the UK are “under-resourced” in comparison to developers of the technology, the Commons science committee chairman has warned.

Outgoing committee chairman Greg Clark said he was “worried” that UK regulators were “under-resourced compared to the finance that major developers can command”. It adds that the Government and regulators should safeguard the integrity of the election campaign by taking “stringent enforcement action” against online platforms hosting deepfake content which “seeks to exert a malign influence on the democratic process”.

“We are calling for the next government to publicly name any AI developers who do not submit their models for pre-deployment safety testing. In its report, the committee states that the “most far-reaching challenge” of AI may be the way it can operate as a “black box” – in that the basis of, and reasoning for, its output may be unknowable.
