Artificial Intelligence: Disinformation
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with technology companies regarding preventing foreign governments from using artificial intelligence to run online disinformation campaigns in the United Kingdom.
- Answer
-
The government engages regularly with technology companies to make clear their responsibility to keep users safe.
The Online Safety Act requires all in-scope companies to tackle illegal content, including state-sponsored disinformation that meets the threshold of the Foreign Interference Offence. Where such content is generated using artificial intelligence, it would be captured as the Act applies regardless of how the content is produced.
