Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 123C adopts the language of the Institute for the Future of Work about automation archetypes. These have been developed as part of the Nuffield Foundation supported Pissarides Review into the Future of Work and Wellbeing, which will be published in January 2025, and they challenge our understanding and narratives about automation, its potential and the choices that we make now to shape our futures. It is not enough to rely on the enforcement of individual rights in discrete domains, after the event. Pre-emptive assessment of significant impacts and establishing a process for ongoing monitoring and intervention are necessary. This is in line with the Council of Europe’s framework convention on AI, signed in September and to which the UK is a signatory. The Council of Europe’s committee on AI has just officially adopted the HUDERIA human rights algorithmic impact assessment.
