Artificial Intelligence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to recommendation 28 of the report commissioned by his Department entitled AI Opportunities Action Plan, published on 13 January 2025, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on how regulators have enabled AI innovation in their sectors.

Answer: Artificial intelligence is the defining opportunity of our generation, and the Government is taking action to harness its economic benefits for UK citizens. As set out in the AI Opportunities Action Plan, we believe most AI systems should be regulated at the point of use, with our expert regulators best placed to do so. Departments are working proactively with regulators to provide clear strategic direction and support them on their AI capability needs. Through well-designed and implemented regulation, we can fuel fast, wide and safe development and adoption of AI. I regularly engage with Cabinet colleagues on this matter.
