Debate
Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) BillContribution
There now seems to be an intention to fill, at least partially, the AI-shaped hole in the Bill through new government amendments. A logical conclusion of this is to give AISI proportionate regulatory powers to go with these amendments. Establishing AISI as an independent statutory body would give it the mandate and legislative framework needed to safeguard public safety in the face of fast-growing threats from agentic AI while maintaining its world-class evaluation capabilities.
