Effective regulatory relationships - from complexity to collaboration

At the Institute of Regulation Conference 2026, TSO hosted a panel exploring a critical question: what does it take to build effective regulatory relationships in practice?

Responsible AI in Practice

This week I attended the 2026 DRCF Responsible AI Forum, hosted by the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum at County Hall. This event brought together regulators, policymakers and industry experts to discuss one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how to govern AI responsibly while enabling innovation.

Agentic AI and Regulation - Evolution, not reinvention

Following a recent industry roundtable, in this blog Alan Blanchard explores how agentic AI is shaping the regulatory landscape, arguing that the challenge is not to reinvent regulation but to apply existing frameworks more effectively to increasingly autonomous systems.

Turning Complex Regulation into Clear, Actionable Information

For government and regulators, the challenge isn’t just publishing information - it’s ensuring that people can understand and use it. AI and structured content design are redefining how public sector organisations make complex regulation more usable, accessible, and easier to act on.

Harnessing AI for Accessibility and Usability

As part of Digital Leaders: Public Sector AI Week, TSO's Business Development Director Alan Blanchard delivered a session titled Harnessing AI for Accessibility and Usability.

Unlocking AI’s Full Potential in the Public Sector Starts with Better Data

At this year’s Public Service Data and AI Conference, TSO hosted a roundtable discussion on “How Structured Data Can Supercharge Public Sector AI Use.” 

While conversations around AI often focus on data science or emerging tools, this session emphasised a more fundamental truth - that AI is only as effective as the data that powers it. For government and regulators, that means looking not just at data sets, but at how information itself - the rules, regulations, guidance and standards that shape daily life - is structured and shared.
