Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I very much support Amendment 115 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas. It is notable that the noble Lords, Lord Knight and Lord Holmes, both highlighted the risk of AI in employment decisions at Second Reading. At the end of the day, however, Clause 80 and the changes to Article 22 will not wash. It removes important protections for automated decision-making and AI; that position is supported by a great number of civil society organisations, such as Big Brother Watch, the Ada Lovelace Institute, Connected by Data, Defend Digital Me, Liberty, the Open Rights Group, Privacy International, the Public Law Project and Worker Info Exchange.
