Is AI simply a new technology that can be regulated with existing tools under familiar legal concepts (such as product safety, personal data, copyright or competition laws). Or does it require new regulatory thinking and a new legal approach? The CREATe Centre is engaged in an ongoing research programme on AI that involves the examination of regulatory fields and practice. CREATe also conducts a number of projects on specific issues, such as the nature of AI enabled creativity, performers’ rights, transparency, AI hallucinations, self-evolving AI, cultural heritage data, and dark patterns in video games.

After a welcome from Prof. Bridgette Wessels (Centre for Data Science & AI, lead for College of Social Sciences) this Roundtable will begin with an introduction to the regulatory landscape for AI in the UK, in the context of fast evolving cross-jurisdictional and geo-political pressures. Speakers will include Prof. Lilian Edwards and Prof. Martin Kretschmer (who will chair the event).

This will be followed by examples of CREATe's current projects, presented in pitch formats. CREATe speakers will include Dr Elena Cooper, Prof. Kris Erickson, Dr Aline Iramina, Dr Zihao Li, Bartolomeo Meletti, Prof. Philip Schlesinger and Weiwei Yi.
