I have stressed both the internationalness and the length of time this has been an issue because, very often, when we hear from the Government on all these issues to do with so-called artificial intelligence, we hear that we have to wait to see what happens. I am afraid that is not good enough and not an appropriate circumstance. How these tools are deployed and where they are used and not used are matters of political decision-making. We can make choices; we can make laws. They are not independent actors outside our control, and neither should be the giant companies that largely promulgate them. We need to—dare I coin a phrase?—take back control and say there are places where this is inappropriate or needs to be extremely tightly controlled.
