EU AI Act vs UK Pro-Innovation Approach to AI Regulation (White Paper)

What this comparison shows

On the topic of Environmental Impact of AI Training, EU AI Act is classified as implicit and UK Pro-Innovation Approach to AI Regulation (White Paper) as silent. The editorial verdict is asymmetric. One regime addresses the topic explicitly while the other covers it only implicitly or not at all; this is a likely site of regulatory arbitrage and a candidate for comparative-law follow-up.

Contested question: Should environmental obligations attach to (a) model-provider disclosure, (b) datacenter operator emissions caps, or (c) end-customer reporting? The training-vs-inference split also remains unresolved across instruments.
