UKAI - The Trade Association for AI businesses across the UK

In this special live episode of the UKAI Podcast filmed at UKAI’s 6 Month Review of the AI Opportunities Action Plan, former AI Minister and UKAI Advisor Matt Warman chairs a heavyweight panel of legal, regulatory and industry leaders to tackle the question: are the UK’s AI foundations fit for purpose?

Joined by Fiona Ghosh (Ashurst LLP), Gaia Marcus (Ada Lovelace Institute), Sophia Ignatidou (ICO), and Amir Malik (Alvarez & Marsal), this session dives into the legal, ethical and commercial frameworks we need to unlock safe and sustainable AI adoption.

They explore:
⚖️ The growing need for global standards and legal clarity on AI liability
📉 Why lack of transparency and immature governance is slowing adoption
🌍 Sovereignty, infrastructure and the UK’s role in global AI competition
🛡️ Cybersecurity risks and the call for stronger user data protections
🔐 Public trust vs trustworthiness – and how to align regulation with values

With candid insights from frontline advisers to business, government and regulators, this panel lays out what must be done now to “get the foundations right.”
