We are submitting this response to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) open call for evidence regarding the AI Growth Lab on behalf of Responsible AI UK (RAi UK), an open and multidisciplinary network that brings together experts from across the four nations of the UK to understand how we should shape the development of AI to benefit people, communities and society. To arrive at this response, we sent out a call to Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators of all RAi UK-funded projects, inviting them to contribute to this consultation. What follows is a synthesis of the responses we received from our research community.
Overall, the RAi UK research community welcomes the government’s efforts to create spaces that balance innovation with appropriate guardrails, ensuring responsible AI development and deployment. When properly designed and implemented, regulatory sandboxes can be a helpful mechanism for addressing regulatory barriers and enhancing regulators’ learning. The comments herein aim to inform the government’s endeavours to establish a cross-economy sandbox, providing recommendations regarding its design so that the whole of the UK society can enjoy the benefits of this legal experimentation, while being attentive to and mitigating potential risks.
