Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Artificial Intelligence: National Security Implications

Contribution

My Lords, my understanding is that the US Government took urgent action because of security flaws found in the AI model in question. They used the legislation that was available to them. There was no sinister or hidden agenda in their decision to cut it off, and it has been cut off from use by all American companies as well. It is also my understanding, as the Minister echoed, that the AI Security Institute, originally set up by Rishi Sunak and supported by this Government, is one of the leading bodies in the world in this work. Can the Minister assure us that the AI Security Institute is able to work closely with its US counterparts as we navigate this extremely complex field?
