On behalf of the Center for Data Innovation, the following are comments regarding the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) initial review of foundation models, their competitive market and use cases, and principles that can guide their development and adoption.

While the UK aims to use light touch regulation to become Europe’s leader in AI, the EU has taken the opposite approach, creating burdensome rules for the technology in its set-to-pass AI Act.

Unlike the European Union (EU), the UK’s approach to AI will not focus on new legislation in the short term. It will instead focus on creating guidelines to empower regulators and will only take statutory action when necessary. The following explains the heart of the white paper before analyzing its strengths and weaknesses.

Based on recommendations from chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government has released detailed proposals for how the UK can implement its pro-innovation regulation of digital technologies. This regulatory strategy is intended to boost the use of data and emerging technologies in business and government.

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) fails to clearly explain how it will affect different types of mobile ecosystems. The European Commission's recent workshop to examine the DMA’s requirements for alternate app distribution and interoperability provided neither regulatory clarity nor addressed economic concerns related to its unintended consequences.

The Center for Data Innovation submits feedback on the European Commission’s key performance indicators to measure the progress towards the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 digital targets. The feedback includes proposed changes on how to improve some of the KPIs.

The Center for Data Innovation submits feedback on the European Commission’s consultation and call for evidence regarding the regulation on European statistics on population and housing. The feedback lists four positive aspects of the proposed regulation and provides a suggestion to further improve the regulation’s efforts to address the data divide.

The draft Cyber Resilience Act is too broad in scope and needs clearer definitions. The legislation’s fundamental pitfalls will burden businesses with compliance and undermine avenues for innovation like open source software. With targeted changes, the Cyber Resilience Act can promote better cybersecurity in the internal market without hurting competition and innovation across Europe.

A coalition of 70 individuals and organizations, including ITIF’s Center for Data Innovation, sent an open letter to the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak opposing the Online Safety Bill’s clauses that erode end-to-end encryption in private messaging and other online services.

European and U.S. policymakers have proposed imposing monitoring obligations on Internet intermediaries to improve online safety. Despite their best efforts, these proposals risk undermining users’ privacy by eliminating the use of end-to-end encryption. Therefore, policymakers should not pursue them.

Pushing the Online Safety Bill through parliament too quickly will do more harm than good.

The UK can become a pioneer in online safety, but the new prime minister should focus on high-level, flexible guidelines to ensure innovation in content moderation, private communications, digital identity, and artificial intelligence thrive in the UK.
