Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
I will briefly, because of the time, set out each amendment. Amendment 422D would make it an offence to create, supply or otherwise make available an AI chatbot that produces, promotes or offers advice on violent acts or terrorism or that threatens public safety or national security. Proposed subsections (3) and (4) would establish that it is also an offence to supply a chatbot that has not been risk-assessed for these harms or has failed to mitigate identified risks. It would clarify in law that chatbots rehearsing the scenarios identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate are simply not acceptable in the UK.
