01 / The rule

What UK Pro-Innovation AI requires

UK sector regulators (such as the ICO, FCA, CMA, Ofcom and MHRA), which apply the principles to organisations they already supervise.

  1. 01Regulators apply the principle of safety, security and robustness to AI in their sectors.
  2. 02Regulators apply appropriate transparency and explainability expectations.
  3. 03Regulators apply fairness, accountability and governance expectations using existing law.
  4. 04Regulators ensure routes for contestability and redress against harmful AI outcomes.
  5. 05Organisations comply with existing law that applies to AI, such as UK GDPR, the Equality Act 2010 and consumer law.

02 / In this sector

In a legal AI workflow

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
