Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Anyway, what are these organisations doing, knowingly recording untruthful data? How do they manage that under the GDPR? What rights do they have to hold data that they know to be wrong? It seems astonishing to me that this has grown up. In any event, given where we are going and given where this Government are taking us, although I share other noble Lords’ concerns and fears, I am none the less behind the wagon, pushing. There could be some interesting outcomes to AI and what it might offer but we have to get it right. If we allow it to become corrupted, it will not work; it will spread all sorts of inefficiencies and wrongs without us being able to correct it. To get it right at the beginning is important. Tech-enabled should mean truth-enabled. I beg to move.
