New funding and regulatory innovation aim to fast-track AI adoption while maintaining safety standards

London: Technology Secretary Peter Kyle is set to announce a £2.7 million government fund to support UK regulators in piloting AI systems to keep Britain at pace in the global race for tech leadership.

Kyle emphasised that the move is not about lowering safety standards but applying “smart regulation” to accelerate approvals and help British innovators compete globally. The funding will support agencies such as Ofgem, the Civil Aviation Authority, and the Office for Nuclear Regulation in projects ranging from AI-assisted accident report analysis to unified regulatory guidance platforms and nuclear waste management pilots.

In the 1930s, after Hitler had managed to become the leader of Germany, other powers, especially France and Britain, gradually became very worried about the possibility of yet another world war which might turn out to be as bad as, if not worse than, World War I. The people in charge of Britain and France at that time were by and large very reluctant to go through another hell like that of the First World War. That was mainly why they preferred to bend over backwards to please Hitler’s Germany. They failed. The combination of British and French appeasement, coupled with American indifference, as well as Soviet collaboration, convinced Hitler to initiate the invasion of European countries.
