Baroness Kidron (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

If I have understood what the Minister said, the NHS must protect itself, but the AI that is attacking it has no duties or obligations under the Bill to check itself before it is used in those ways. That is what I think is the Government’s position, and I would be grateful, when she responds, if she could answer that. I also want to say two other things. One is that I think these issues will come back on Report, so I would be grateful for some proper discussion before then, so that we can see whether we come to a certain place. I do not have it at my fingertips—I may be helped by one of my colleagues—the amount of search that now happens through AI, but it is almost ludicrous to suggest that LLMs are not search. It is deliberate that I got that answer.
