On 10 October 2025, the Digital Regulation Co-operation Forum (DRCF) published a report setting out learnings from its AI and digital hub pilot.

The AI and Digital Hub pilot was the DRCF’s trial of a multi-agency advice service, designed to support innovators navigating the evolving regulatory landscape for AI and digital technologies, which offered free, informal, cross-regulatory advice. The DRCF sets out in the report that the pilot showed that a cross-agency Hub can offer significant value for both innovators and regulators, in particular highlighting lessons that will shape future DRCF initiatives and may be useful for other regulators considering similar services, including in relation to engaging participants and building the service.

The DRCF also explained that insights from the pilot will inform the next phase of its work, which will focus on expanding the Hub’s reach.
