Motion Text

That this House notes the publication of the Joint Committee on Human Rights Report on Human Rights and the Regulation of AI; further notes that Artificial Intelligence is developing at a pace that means governments, and human rights protections, risk being left behind and that AI presents novel and serious human rights risks; calls upon the Government to take immediate action and bring in a dedicated AI Bill, and set up a new regulator, to create tailored, effective protection for human rights in the UK; further calls upon the most dangerous uses of AI to be banned, and for other uses to be regulated in a principled and risk-based way, with strong sanctions for companies and organisations who damage human rights through their use of AI systems; and also notes that none of this need compromise the use of AI to help generate economic growth.
