In July 2023, the UK Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) issued a call for comments on the status of generative AI and priority regulatory concerns. The DRCF is a group of four major UK regulators: the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), and Ofcom.

CREATe is a research centre that focuses on technology regulation and evidence-based policymaking. In response to the DRCF's call for comments, CREATe is undertaking research that addresses the specific questions raised. The research will be published in a working paper later this month.

The challenges posed by generative AI are complex and multifaceted. Regulators will need to actively engage with evidence on these effects in order to develop effective regulations.
