- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her department plans to publish a response to its call for evidence on the AI Growth Lab scheme.
- Answer
-
The AI Growth Lab would be a cross-economy AI sandbox which would enable responsible AI products and services to be deployed under close supervision in live markets. This will unlock cross-economy growth, drive trust and create a mechanism for dynamic, evidence-led regulatory reform.
From 21st October 2025 – 7th January 2026, the Government ran a call for evidence on the AI Growth Lab, asking innovators and regulators. The insights will inform further policy development and the identification of priority areas for the AI Growth Lab.
The Chancellor announced plans to legislate for the AI Growth Lab in her 2026 Mais Lecture and the King’s Speech confirmed the intention to introduce the Regulating for Growth Bill. We will set out further details shortly.
