UK DRCF launches new Thematic Innovation Hub and publishes call for views on agentic AI

The Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) has announced the launch of its new Thematic Innovation Hub. Building on the success of the AI and Digital Hub pilot, the Thematic Hub will provide tailored regulatory advice on priority topics, with its first thematic focus centred on agentic AI – AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making and initiating actions without direct human prompts. As part of this new approach, the DRCF has also published a "call for views" seeking input on the regulatory challenges and opportunities associated with agentic AI. The call for views consists of six questions that stakeholders may choose to respond to or share other insights that they believe are relevant.

The deadline for submissions is 6 November. The DRCF clarifies that it does not intend to issue advice or guidance in response to submissions; the aim is to gather insights to inform future thematic work. Accompanying the launch, the DRCF has published an insights paper that shares learnings from the pilot phase of its AI and Digital Hub.
