The Challenge
To examine how power imbalances in AI governance development affect regulatory outcomes, particularly the influence of industry lobbying versus civil society participation in shaping ethical AI frameworks.
The Solution
Conducted comparative analysis of EU and UK regulatory approaches, examining multiple dimensions including surveillance capitalism, human rights implications, algorithmic bias, and AI supply chain transparency.
The Result
Revealed significant disparities between regulatory frameworks, demonstrating the EU AI Act's stronger protections while identifying critical gaps in civil society representation mechanisms, leading to policy recommendations for the UK, including establishing a dedicated Department of AI and enhancing scrutiny of industry lobbying activities.
