UK AI Regulation Framework

The UK AI Regulation Framework is a principles-based, sector-led approach to AI governance that delegates primary regulatory responsibility to existing sector regulators rather than establishing a unified AI-specific regulator. It is currently transitioning toward a more structured legislative footing following the Labour government's AI Opportunities Action Plan published in January 2025.
