Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

To respond to the question about how the Bill approaches certain AI products and services, as I mentioned in respect of Amendment 6, were AI services to be brought into the ambit of the Bill as proposed in Amendment 6, that would not address some of the harms that the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, and other noble Lords, have set out. The way the Bill works is that it is about risks that are relevant to the systems of the affected organisations. As in the healthcare example I gave, it is about risks associated with products that might be used to provide those services. That is the way the Bill is set up. Obviously, as I also said, we are very well aware about the increasingly embedded nature of AI in the economy, and we will keep its impact on the regulatory landscape under review.
