A cross-party parliamentary group has called for comprehensive new AI legislation, arguing that current UK laws are fragmented and fail to account for the complexity of the AI supply chain. The committee specifically warned that existing frameworks often misallocate liability to deployers rather than developers and urged the establishment of a single independent regulator with strong enforcement capabilities.

  • The joint committee on human rights has further detailed its concerns by highlighting specific legal gaps, noting that current UK statutes fail to address the complexity of the AI supply chain and incorrectly place liability on deployers rather than developers. Chair Alex Sobel emphasized that no existing global regulatory framework is adequate, urging the creation of a single independent regulator with enforcement powers to oversee the entire lifecycle of AI systems.
