An independent report conducted by Oxford Information Labs has revealed that the UK holds the top spot globally in AI standards.

The AI Standard Hub, the first body of its kind anywhere in the world, has helped the UK have an internationally recognised voice in the development of AI-related standards.

The Hub’s focus has been on enhancing understanding of AI standards, with nearly 70 per cent of participants in the report confirming that it has empowered the UK AI community to influence and participate in setting standards.

67 per cent of respondents considered the Hub as the top coalition in the UK for promoting international discussions in AI standards.

''The Hub’s commitment to fostering collaboration and its dedication to promoting responsible AI innovation are pivotal to the nation’s role as a global influencer in AI standards.

''As the world continues to grapple with the challenges and opportunities presented by AI technologies, the UK stands at the forefront, showcasing its commitment to ensuring the safe, ethical, and responsible development of AI.''
