The cross-party panel recommended a single independent AI regulator with powers to enforce compliance and mandate transparency across the technology lifecycle, with committee chair Alex Sobel citing the urgent need for mandatory transparency and clear avenues of redress for people affected by AI-driven decisions. The report follows calls from tech leaders including Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman to slow the pace of AI development.", "body_md": "# Calls grow for introduction of new AI Bill to protect human rights and privacy\n\n- A cross-party panel of MPs on the Joint Committee on [Human Rights](/topic/human-rights) has urged the UK government to introduce a new[AI](/topic/ai) Bill to protect human rights and privacy.\n- The committee warned that existing UK legislation targets system users rather than developers, preventing regulatory oversight prior to public rollout.\n- The report recommends establishing a single independent AI regulator with strong powers to enforce compliance and mandate transparency across the technology lifecycle.\n- JCHR Chair Alex Sobel highlighted the urgent need for mandatory transparency and clear avenues of redress for individuals impacted by AI-driven decisions.\n- The report follows recent calls from major tech leaders, including Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman, urging the industry to slow down the pace of AI development.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/calls-grow-for-introduction-of-new-ai-bill-to-protect-human-rights-and-privacy", "canonical_source": "https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/ai-bill-mps-human-rights-privacy-b3049690.html", "published_at": "2026-09-14 08:42:04+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-14 09:08:58.867841+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "ai-safety", "ai-ethics"], "entities": ["Joint Committee on Human Rights", "UK government", "Alex Sobel", "Dario Amodei", "Elon Musk", "Sam Altman"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/calls-grow-for-introduction-of-new-ai-bill-to-protect-human-rights-and-privacy", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/calls-grow-for-introduction-of-new-ai-bill-to-protect-human-rights-and-privacy.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/calls-grow-for-introduction-of-new-ai-bill-to-protect-human-rights-and-privacy.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/calls-grow-for-introduction-of-new-ai-bill-to-protect-human-rights-and-privacy.jsonld"}}
