Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

To be clear, I am a supporter of big tech and its transformational potential. As a health advocate, I see the future of healthcare depending on AI, big data and genomics, and I applaud the work of companies such as Alphabet in these fields. However, these same companies have a blind spot, and we need to recognise that. The algorithms that detect cancer cells are being used to exploit children’s neurological vulnerabilities, and that is a profound ethical failure that they seem unable to cope with.
