official nameInformation Commission (from 30 September 2026; previously the Information Commissioner's Office).

Gaps the research left open

10Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

ico.org.uk news listings and the media centre load dynamically; the full list of ICO AI news could not be read. Items were found by targeted search and opened one by one.
No ICO AI-specific fine issued in 2025–2026 was found in pages opened. TikTok penalty (2023) and DSG Retail appear in search results but are not AI-specific and were not opened.
John Edwards' start date as Commissioner was not confirmed on a page opened. His resignation (19 June 2026) is from one secondary source (Local Government Lawyer); no ico.org.uk or GOV.UK statement was opened. Check before publishing.
The exact date the ICO's sponsor moved from DSIT to DCMS was not found; the 22 July 2026 machinery of government fact sheet does not name the ICO.
ICO street address was not shown on any page that loaded; postcode SK9 5AF given by the lead researcher.
The draft ADM and profiling guidance consultation: open and close dates not found.
The ICO Regulatory Sandbox page itself was not opened (GOV-REG-028 marked unverified).
"Explaining decisions made with AI" and the AI risk toolkit: original publication dates not shown.
The 2024 generative AI consultation's five chapter titles and dates were not captured (only the fourth call for evidence title seen in a search listing).
GOV.UK search API with q= and order=-public_timestamp ignored the query; relevance order worked.
