Does the UK AI Security Institute have sufficient powers to protect against AI harms?

The UK AI Security Institute evaluates advanced AI model capabilities and safeguards for catastrophic and national security risks such as cyber misuse and biological weapons. It shares findings with policymakers but cannot compel companies to submit models, set safety standards, block releases or monitor real-world harms. Its remit excludes many current issues including child safety, non-consensual imagery and bias discrimination.
