Britain has outlined principles to prevent dominant control of generative AI models by major tech companies, with a focus on accountability and transparency. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) aims to address potential negative consequences of AI while promoting innovation.
CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell highlighted the potential of AI to enhance productivity and simplify daily tasks, but warned against a few players dominating the market and hindering its benefits for the economy. The proposed principles will guide the CMA's approach to AI regulation as it acquires new powers in overseeing digital markets.
