These centers will support AI expertise in areas such as healthcare, chemistry, and mathematics. The government plans to allocate £2 million to define responsible AI in fields like education, law enforcement, and the creative industries. An additional £10 million will be used to enhance the skills of regulatory bodies to address the challenges of AI governance.

California Senator Steve Padilla has introduced two bills aimed at regulating the use of artificial intelligence systems, particularly those used by state government agencies.

The second bill (Senate Bill 893) will establish a California Artificial Intelligence Research Center to provide scholars with computational resources and data. These bills come after last September.
