Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Before I sit down, I have two brief points to make. First, although the proposed amendments are definitively focused on those who deliberately create child sexual abuse, I put on notice those companies and services that do not take sufficient care to prevent it happening accidentally. I know some image generator companies have gone out of their way to create guardrails and others have taken a “hurt first, fix later” approach. We have data law, we have the OSA, and I anticipate that in the new year we will have further offences, each of which will be robustly used to stop the careless creation of abuse. That should be the number one concern of GenAI companies.
