Driving AI Assurance in the UK

This year, the world has taken giant strides toward AI governance. As we come to the end of 2024, PUBLIC and Global Counsel have partnered to conduct focused research reflecting on the government's roadmap for a vibrant AI assurance sector, and look ahead at how the UK government can go beyond its ‘Assuring a responsible future for AI report’ to enhance AI assurance.

The buzz around Artificial Intelligence (AI) is deafening - and for good reason. Think Generative AI boosting productivity, automation easing administrative burdens, and cutting-edge tools fueling research breakthroughs.

But unlocking AI’s transformative potential depends on one crucial element: trust.

Successful AI adoption hinges on its ability to integrate seamlessly into our daily lives, creating value without compromising safety, fairness, or reliability. Yet, the political conversation is caught in a delicate balancing act - ensuring AI’s safety and public trust while avoiding the stifling of the economic growth it promises to unleash. The answer lies in AI assurance.

AI assurance is not just about ticking regulatory boxes or managing risks; it’s about building public confidence and ensuring AI systems are reliable, safe, and used responsibly throughout their lifecycle.

In our latest report, we take a closer look at the burgeoning AI assurance sector and the UK’s unique role in its growth. Here’s what’s inside:

  • The UK’s unique position in leading the charge in AI assurance
  • Key drivers - from enterprise adoption to regulatory environment - behind the growth of the AI assurance sector
  • A blueprint for how the UK government can pave the way for a flourishing AI assurance ecosystem, building beyond its recent ‘Assuring a responsible future for AI report’.
