UK AI Safety Institute Framework

UK's approach to AI safety combines the AI Safety Institute (AISI) for frontier AI evaluation, sector-specific guidance from regulators, and a principles-based voluntary code. More flexible than the EU AI Act.

• Safety testing for frontier AI systems before deployment
• Cooperation with DSIT AI Safety Institute evaluations
• Sector-specific compliance (FCA for finance, CQC for healthcare)
• Transparency about AI use in consumer-facing applications
• Human rights impact assessments for public sector AI
• Bias and fairness testing documentation
• Incident reporting for significant AI failures
• Adherence to voluntary AI Code of Practice

1. 1Register with DSIT AI Safety Institute for frontier model evaluations
2. 2Align with sector-specific regulator guidance (FCA, ICO, etc.)
3. 3Adopt Pro-Innovation Regulation principles
4. 4Implement model evaluation processes ahead of deployment
5. 5Monitor DSIT for new legislative developments
