AI regulation: Resistance movement | Law Gazette

MPs and peers on the joint committee on human rights have called for a new AI bill, warning in a report that technology is developing at a pace that means governments and human rights protections risk being left behind. The report is titled 'Human Rights and the Regulation of AI'. The committee states that a new bill is needed to address the scale and seriousness of the threats posed to human rights by AI systems.

Alex Sobel MP, the committee chair, said that no country in the world has a legislative and regulatory approach to AI that is fit for purpose. The committee is a joint committee, meaning it draws its membership from both MPs and peers. The report's title places human rights and the regulation of AI together in a single framing. The excerpt quotes Sobel's assessment as a direct statement and does not indicate where or when he made it.

The article appears in the Law Gazette under the headline 'AI regulation: Resistance movement'. The excerpt does not name the authors of the report beyond identifying the committee as its source, does not state the date of publication, does not specify the provisions the proposed bill would contain, and does not include a response from the government. It also does not set out what existing legislative or regulatory approach, if any, the proposed bill would replace.
