By taking aim at the most powerful AI models, Labour would impose tighter restrictions on companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft , Google , Amazon , and AI startups including Anthropic, Cohere and Mistral.
Matthew Houlihan, senior director of government affairs at Cisco, said any AI rules would need to be "centered on a thoughtful, risk-based approach."
Even so, a U.K. AI law would be a step above the U.S., which currently doesn't have federal AI legislation of any kind.
Sirion's Liu said one thing he's hoping the government doesn't do, is restrict open-source AI models.
Herman Narula, CEO of metaverse venture builder Improbable, agreed that restricting open-source AI innovation would be a bad idea.
