In Autumn 2023, DSIT set up the Central AI Risk Function (CAIRF), which brings together policymakers and AI experts with a mission to continuously identify, assess and prepare for risks associated with AI. One of the CAIRF's critical responsibilities is to develop and maintain the UK Government’s AI Risk Register. The register was introduced in 2023 and identifies individual risks associated with AI that could impact the UK spanning national security, the economy and society. This Government is considering how best to engage the wider public on our understanding of AI risks.
