Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 October 2024

Debate

Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence

Contribution

The convention has been signed by the US as well as the EU, the UK and various other nations. On the point about red tape, it is very important that, as we think about AI, we do not introduce measures which restrict innovation. At the investment summit yesterday, Eric Schmidt said very clearly that some guidelines are rather important; otherwise, companies do not have certainty and cannot progress. Getting that balance—getting some guidelines without restrictions—will be our clear priority.
