Most AI systems should be regulated at the point of use, and the UK's existing expert regulators are best placed to do this. In response to the AI Opportunities Action Plan, the government committed to supporting regulators to identifying their future capability needs and to understand how they intend to mitigate AI risks and drive growth.

The Government also intends to introduce targeted requirements on the handful of companies developing the most powerful AI systems. These proposals will build on the voluntary commitments secured at the AI Safety Summits and will strengthen the role of the AI Safety Institute.
