ICO seeking input on generative AI to inform guidance

ICO

The U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is seeking input from developers, users, and those interested in generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help inform policy and guidance regarding the technology.

On Jan. 15, the ICO announced the launch of a multipart consultation series on generative AI and data protection. The agency’s first consultation is open until March 1.

“The impact of generative AI can be transformative for society if it’s developed and deployed responsibly,” said Stephen Almond, executive director for regulatory risk at the ICO. “This call for views will help the ICO provide industry with certainty regarding its obligations and safeguard people’s information rights and freedoms.”
