Annex

United Kingdom Pro-Innovation AI Regulation Framework (CP 815 and CP 1019)

This annex gives the adopter a single per-regime view of the United Kingdom's approach to regulating AI: a principles-based framework that existing sector regulators interpret and apply within their own remits, rather than a single AI statute. It rests on two government documents: the AI regulation white paper, "A pro-innovation approach to AI regulation" (CP 815, March 2023), which set out the framework, and the government's response to the consultation on it (CP 1019, February 2024), which confirmed the approach and records the current position. It is deliberately NOT a binding-obligation annex in the sense of the EU AI Act annex (ai/jurisdictions/annex-ai-european-union.md): the principles bind no one directly. What binds an adopter in the UK is existing law as applied by the regulator for its sector, including data-protection law, covered in privacy/jurisdictions/annex-privacy-united-kingdom.md.
