Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026
Debate
Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) BillContribution
The noble Lord, Lord Tarassenko, and the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, convincingly described not only the nature of the risk but the sheer scale of it. By tabling Amendment 6, which I have signed, the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, is rightly seeking to ensure that AI products and services underpinning digital systems are recognised within the scope of Clause 7. Under Amendment 75, we would establish clear statutory red lines prohibiting AI systems being capable of evading human shutdown, self-replicating uncontrollably or executing automated attacks on critical infrastructure. As she described, the red lines campaign is backed by a great many of the leading names in AI developments, and it is clearly backed by public opinion, as she mentioned.
