Lord Chris Holmes of Richmond from the UK House of Lords, and Hogan Lovells host John Salmon discuss the Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill, a Private Members’ Bill recently introduced by Lord Holmes into the UK Parliament which, among other things, sets out requirements for a central AI Authority responsible for overseeing the approach to regulating AI and aims to put certain principles (e.g. essential principles of trust, transparency, inclusion, innovation, interoperability, public engagement, and accountability) on statutory footing.

Tune in for insights from the sponsor of the Bill himself on the rationale behind the Bill, how the UK approach contrasts with the EU AI Act, AI and use of data in the context of intellectual property (e.g. copyright), and the importance of public engagement as the Bill progresses through the legislative process.
