US export control, UK opportunity
Karl Havard on building a UK stack.
Happy Friday, I'm taking the kids to an Anglo-Saxon re-enactment this weekend. Politics next week may be just as bloodthirsty.
The biggest questions around AI remain unanswered. Who benefits? And how? But what we do know is that trust and adoption are closely linked. To build that trust we need to talk, to help people feel a sense of agency and build legitimacy for the policy changes the country needs. This is the time for national conversations on AI. No politician or policymaker has all the answers, but the combined brain power of the British public might.
Happening Today 📆
Gambling pays: Andy Burnham took a huge leap towards 10 Downing Street in the early hours of this morning by winning the Makerfield by-election with more than half of all votes.
The real headline of the day: Transparency requirements on how AI is used to process personal data begin today. The changes, under the Data (Use and Access) Act, mean organisations have to explain in privacy notices how and why AI is used and how decisions made by AI can be challenged.
Next week: Labour Digital hosts AI minister Kanishka Narayan and union boss Mike Clancy to chat the future of work on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday there is a debate in the Lords on global governance standards for AI (timely given yesterday's reporting). Conservative MP Mark Pritchard also has a Westminster Hall debate on the "Role of Big Tech in Society". Fractile, ElevenLabs and Accel are talking the future of inference on Wednesday evening.
