Artificial Intelligence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, for what reason the consultation on the proposed AI Bill has not been published; and when that consultation will be published.

Answer

The Government is ensuring that the UK is ready for both the challenges and opportunities that AI will bring. We have taken important steps to ensure that most AI systems are already regulated at the point of use by our existing expert regulators. This is complemented by the work of the AI Security Institute, which deepens our understanding of the critical security risks posed by frontier AI.

The Government keeps the adequacy of existing arrangements under review, including in relation to specific new risks related to cybersecurity and critical national infrastructure.
