Labour Proposes Mandatory Safety Testing and Data Sharing for AI Firms to Ensure Responsible Innovation
• Labour plans to force AI firms to share test data on a statutory basis, moving beyond the current voluntary testing agreement
• Peter Kyle said legislators have been "behind the curve" on regulating social media, and Labour aims to avoid repeating this with AI
• AI firms would be required to disclose if they are developing high-capability AI systems and conduct mandatory safety tests
• Test results would be shared with the UK AI Safety Institute to independently scrutinize cutting-edge AI developments
• The goal is to ensure AI technology develops safely given its potential profound societal impacts
