MPs call on the government to take urgent action on Artificial Intelligence accountability

A new report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the Future of Work has called on the government to bring forward robust proposals for artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. The APPG inquiry found that AI is transforming work and working lives across the country in ways that have plainly outpaced, or avoid, the existing regimes for regulation. Their recommendations are aimed at ensuring that the AI ecosystem is genuinely human-centred, principles-driven and accountable to shape a future of better work. They are centred around a proposal for an Accountability for Algorithms Act ('the AAA'). The AAA offers an overarching, principles-driven framework for governing and regulating AI in response to the fast-changing developments in workplace technology.
