Parliamentary committee calls for new legislation to control AI

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 10:26

The British joint parliamentary committee on human rights urged the Labour Government to pass new legislation to control artificial intelligence systems. The main objective is to regulate the risks associated with AI and protect citizens' fundamental rights.

The body also recommended the creation of a specific regulatory entity to supervise the implementation and compliance of rules related to artificial intelligence. This entity would have powers to inspect companies and technologies that use AI systems in the United Kingdom.

The committee argues that current legislation is insufficient to address the challenges posed by the rapid development of AI technology. The parliamentarians emphasize the need for a robust legal framework that guarantees the protection of human rights in the face of these new technologies.

Why this matters

The United Kingdom is defining its regulatory approach to AI, which may influence future standards in Europe. British citizens will be affected by new rules on how companies can use AI systems, especially in areas touching human rights. This recommendation comes after growing public debate about AI risks and may lead to significant legislative changes in the country.
