DSIT launches a call for evidence on proposed AI Growth Lab
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has launched a call for evidence on the proposed AI Growth Lab, a cross-sector regulatory sandbox aimed at accelerating responsible AI innovation across the UK. The Lab would enable time-limited, closely supervised regulatory modifications to facilitate the deployment of AI-enabled products and services currently constrained by outdated legislation. Designed to support both public and private sector innovators, the Lab seeks to generate real-world evidence to inform permanent regulatory reform, while maintaining safeguards around safety, consumer protection, and fundamental rights. The call for evidence closes on 2 January 2026.
