Robinson: UK should resist ‘over-regulating' AI |
Richard Robinson, the founder of tech start-up RobinAI, believes the UK should resist over-regulating AI, arguing that it would be unwise “to create a bespoke regulatory body whose sole purpose in life is to regulate AI.” Mr Robinson, a former Clifford Chance lawyer, said: “I think in general, we don’t want to over regulate this industry,” adding that embracing the technology offers UK a chance “to actually produce generational companies.” “I really don’t want us to make the classic European mistake of getting excited about regulation when we should be excited about innovation,” he added. This comes after the Government said watchdogs including Ofcom and the Competition and Markets Authority are set to take an “agile” approach to AI regulation.
