Artificial intelligence should undergo rigorous testing and be supported by safeguards to contain potential risks, Andrew Bailey has said. He argued that regulation should not be the first step in addressing the challenges posed by the technology.
Bailey’s comments place the emphasis on assessing how AI systems perform and on establishing protections intended to limit harm. The supplied material does not provide further details about the specific risks, safeguards or forms of testing under discussion.
His position suggests that efforts to manage AI should begin with practical checks and risk controls before wider regulatory measures are considered. No further proposals or timetable were given.
