UK ICO pushes foundation model developers to make changes and seeks evidence on agentic AI
Start here
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) released a report stating that, under its oversight, the ten largest foundation model developers operating in the UK—Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Cohere, DeepSeek, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Stability AI—have made or committed to data protection improvements, including clearer transparency information, mechanisms that make it easier for individuals to exercise their rights, and stricter safeguards assessments. The ICO is tracking their implementation progress. The report also sets out the ICO's position on the lawful use of special category data and data protection related to foundation models, and simultaneously calls for evidence on data protection issues in agentic AI.

- ICOSelected英国 ICO 获十家基础模型开发商数据保护整改承诺，并就智能体 AI 征集证据
英国信息专员办公室（ICO）发布报告称，经其监督，在英国运营的十家最大基础模型开发商——Amazon、Anthropic、Apple、Cohere、DeepSeek、Google、Meta、Microsoft、OpenAI 和 Stability AI——已做出或承诺做出数据保护整改，包括更清晰的透明度信息、更便于个人行使权利的机制和更严格的保障措施评估，ICO 正在跟踪其落实进展。报告还阐述了 ICO 在特殊类别数据合法使用、基础模型本身是否可能包含个人数据等问题上的监管立场，并承认当前基础模型训练实践在合规上存在技术挑战。ICO 技术监管总监 Richard Nevinson 表示，智能体具有自主性不能成为合规不佳的借口。相关问询仍在进行中，征集到的证据将用于未来指南及即将出台的 AI 与自动化决策法定实践准则。
