There are only 16 days left to have your say on the AI Growth Lab – Call for Evidence (closes 2 January).

Overall, I support the intent of the programme and welcome the UK taking AI seriously at a national level.
(We’ll be publishing our full response shortly.)
However, one initial concern stands out.
The term “Lab” implies a controlled, isolated environment something contained, observable, and reversible.
In reality, what’s being proposed involves deployment and testing in live, real-world settings, with direct impacts on organisations, services, and working people.
