What might AI regulation in the UK workplace look like?

As adoption of AI systems continues at speed, the constant flow of new products with new capabilities raises concern that regulation of AI, particularly for workers and jobseekers, is failing to keep pace.  In its recent response to the AI white paper, the UK government confirmed that it has no current plans to introduce AI legislation.  This approach contrasts starkly with the EU.  The EU’s AI Act, approved earlier this year, will introduce a regulatory framework for the use of AI, which organisations within the EU will be expected to comply with from 2026.
