Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

This amendment would not offend the Government’s approach to AI. It does not even suggest changing anything from this Bill per se. It would just put a simple change into the Consumer Rights Act 2015. There is a wonderful symmetry. If you are a betting person, you would have to say that this is a good sign. My relevant amendment has been numbered 36, and it would amend Section 36 of that statute, simply to say that digital products created using AI would have to make it clear that this was the case—nothing more, nothing less, and certainly not cutting across anything that the Government may have in mind for AI. It is a simple approach, so that people can know whether, for example, music has been created solely using AI. The consumer—the citizen—can then know that and determine how or whether they want to interact with or purchase that product.
