Baroness Coffey (Con)

My Lords, it has been an interesting debate. I was struck by the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay of Llandaff, about fake voices. That is an interesting thing for us to consider. Yes, my amendment was quite blunt, but we once had a briefing—sorry, it sounds like I am going to name drop—at the Cabinet table; we had a whole session on it, telling us that artificial intelligence had learned to lie. A classic example is “I am not a robot”: artificial intelligence will, in effect, just press the element that says, “I’ve got accessibility issues”, and if you do that, you do not have to do any more verification. There is a whole series here. The noble Lord, Lord McCrea, referred to an article. It is worth reading AI and Ethics Volume 5 from last year. I wondered if the Minister might raise—I hoped that she would—the commission by the MHRA, which was started last year, specifically considering artificial intelligence. If she has not already, I think it would be worth while sending an instruction to the MHRA to start considering this aspect. Ultimately, although I appreciate that there are noble Lords who do not want us to talk about the detail of how this might work, I think it is critical that we as parliamentarians set out for the future of any potential guidance, SIs or whatever legal rulings what we expect or how we expect this Act to deploy. There is no doubt that algorithmic bias is a concern. That is why, although I do not entirely agree with the noble and learned Lord that we might not revisit an amendment on Report referring to AI, I thank noble Lords for this debate and beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
