Labour's head of the Commons technology committee has raised concerns about the government delaying AI regulations to please the Trump administration.
Chi Onwurah urged the government to bring forward the AI safety bill to address concerns about AI models posing threats to humanity.
She emphasized the importance of government siding with people and protecting them from technology impacts, especially AI.
The delay in the safety bill is seen as a move to please the US administration, particularly amid criticism of Europe's AI approach.
The UK government's handling of AI and technology is influenced by international relations and a desire for economic growth.
There is a proposal to foster a British AI industry by allowing tech companies to use creative content for training AI models without permission.
However, this proposal faces backlash from the arts and entertainment industry over copyright concerns.
Elton John and Paul McCartney are among the figures warning about the impact on young artists due to the proposed measures.
Ministers are considering solutions to balance AI development with copyright protection, aiming for tech companies to propose effective tech solutions.
The government aims to launch a public consultation on AI legislation to harness the technology's benefits while ensuring safety and innovation.
