Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (Kanishka Narayan)

There are three particular things that this Government are doing to make sure that artificial intelligence is developed responsibly, and developed here: first, we are building deep capability in Government, with the AI Security Institute; secondly, we are developing a wider AI assurance sector, so that Britain is at the frontier in this context; and thirdly, we are ensuring robust regulation at the point of use.
