In this insightful episode, I speak with Allison Gardner, MP for Stoke-on-Trent South and an expert in AI regulation. We explore the UK Government’s AI Action Plan, the development of AI growth zones, and the critical role of governance and regulation in public services.

Allison brings her expertise in health, AI policy, and data ethics to this engaging conversation, covering:

✅ The Government’s AI Plans and investment in data centres

✅ Using AI to improve diagnostics and manage public services like pothole detection

✅ The urgent need for robust AI governance and statutory regulation

✅ Support for SMEs in AI adoption

✅ Protecting the creative industries and the quality of training data

Allison says: "My concern is actually we risk the integrity of our AI models if we don't protect human created data."

This episode is essential for anyone interested in public policy, AI adoption, and the UK’s innovation strategy.
