Government policy on AI: what should the next administration focus on?
Public policy relating to digital technology is not one of the main political battlegrounds in the approaching general election, but the next administration will need to make decisions on it. It is possible for governments to avoid addressing these questions, but that is getting harder because changes caused by the development and uptake of digital technologies are increasingly relevant to the public and businesses, and across the economy. New policy challenges can emerge faster than they tended to in the past.
Artificial intelligence has matured as a field of public policy. Far more resources are being devoted to developing and delivering policy on it than was the case several years ago. The government launched a new institute and hosted an international summit on AI safety in November, which has initiated an ongoing series of events. More recently it launched an incubator for public sector AI.

Abstract
Public policy relating to digital technology is not one of the main political battlegrounds in the approaching general election, but the next administration will need to make decisions on it. It is possible for governments to avoid addressing these questions, but that is getting harder because changes caused by the development and uptake of digital technologies are increasingly relevant to the public and businesses, and across the economy. New policy challenges can emerge faster than they tended to in the past.
Artificial intelligence has matured as a field of public policy. Far more resources are being devoted to developing and delivering policy on it than was the case several years ago. The government launched a new institute and hosted an international summit on AI safety in November, which has initiated an ongoing series of events. More recently it launched an incubator for public sector AI.
