Agenda Day 1

3:45 PM Think Tank: AI READINESS - WHY WAITING FOR UK AI REGULATIONS IS NOT AN OPTION

As the UK Government maintains its ‘wait and see’ approach to AI regulation, forward thinking organisations are seizing the opportunity to jump the gun and shape their own AI governance frameworks. In 2025, taking a proactive stance is more crucial than ever, with AI technologies rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly embedded in business operations. While the UK’s regulatory landscape remains fluid, global standards are emerging, led by the EU’s AI Act. Organisations that wait for UK-specific regulations risk falling behind international competitors and may face challenges when UK regulation catches up.

  • Understand the global AI regulatory landscape and its implications for UK-based businesses.
  • Learn how other Data Leaders are future-proofing their organisations’ AI regulatory framework to remain compliant and competitive.
  • Discover strategies for building stakeholder trust in AI through transparent and ethical practices.
