Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an innovative and remarkable technical advancement that has become an integral part of our lives, influencing every aspect of our existence. It is altering the structure of our everyday schedules and the way we operate in our professional environments. As we acclimate and gain further knowledge about this technology, it is imperative to acknowledge its profound impact on our lives. Due to the significant possible effects, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of its implications and be ready for any unexpected outcomes. It is essential to have regulatory guidance and proactive oversight in place for artificial intelligence. The UK, as a leading global entity, has taken a proactive stance in tackling both the ethical and operational aspects of AI. This study examines the legislative frameworks connected to artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK utilizing advanced approaches such as sentiment analysis and topic modeling. Our analysis reveals the UK’s equitable strategy toward AI, carefully considering its advantages in comparison to its obstacles. Important regulatory topics encompass ethics, data protection, transparency, and economic advancement. The sentiment analysis reveals a predominantly positive perspective, while emphasizing the importance of responsible employment of AI. This report illuminates the UK’s position on AI rules and serves as a benchmark for other regions to assess their AI initiatives.
