UK Parliament select committee overseeing human rights issues
The Joint Committee on Human Rights has called for a comprehensive AI bill with a single regulator, mandatory transparency, and higher-risk obligations. The push follows safety concerns and rapid AI development discussions among industry leaders, with cross-border talks on global coordination.
President Donald Trump has announced the formation of an "AI Force" and said he will appoint an AI "czar," pledging not to hinder the industry's growth and calling recent safety warnings a "hoax." He has said the existing criminal and civil justice system will handle bad actors and gave no details on the new body's role, budget or timeline.
