The Law Society in the UK has issued recommendations for the government to consider in the regulation of artificial intelligence:

"the expertise of the legal profession should be recognised and harnessed in the AI regulatory approach
legal professional privilege must be protected in the future regulation of AI
the UK Government should take a balanced approach to regulation to safeguard social interests while not impeding technological progression
legislation should establish parameters where the use of AI is unacceptable or where it is inappropriate for AI to make zero-sum decisions
the UK Government should set out a definition for ‘meaningful human intervention’ in AI
organisations should appoint an AI officer when needed
mandatory transparency is needed for the use of AI in government or public services and establishing a due diligence system to boost public trust."
