Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025

Debate

Artificial Intelligence: Legislation

Contribution

My Lords, as long ago as February, the Minister’s Secretary of State said: “AI is a powerful tool and powerful tools can be misused. State-sponsored hackers are using AI to write malicious code and identify system vulnerabilities, increasing the sophistication and efficiency of their attacks. Criminals are using AI deepfakes to assist in fraud, breaching security by impersonating officials”. He went on to say: “These aren’t distant possibilities. They are real, tangible harms, happening right now”. If that is the case, why are the Government not taking a much more urgent approach to the introduction of regulation? I declare an interest as an adviser to DLA Piper on AI policy and regulation.
