Debate

Artificial Intelligence: UK Preparedness

Contribution

My Lords, the Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan sets out how we will harness AI opportunities by measures including expanding our domestic compute infrastructure, backing UK start-ups and investing in skills. We have established the AI Security Institute to deepen our understanding of frontier AI risks and are already taking actions on emerging issues, including those linked to AI chatbots. As recent developments have shown, we will back our regulators to act decisively when required.
