Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
We continue to look at all potential AI threats and are immensely assisted in this by the work of the AI Security Institute, which has deepened our understanding of critical security threats posed by all sorts of frontier AI and the type that the noble Lord mentioned. We continue to talk about this to international partners.
Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (CB)
My Lords, this is not just about legal frameworks; what is also important is the physical security of some of the data structures. Are we in discussions with other European partners, in particular with Ireland, to ensure that their undersea cables are secure, not just undersea but when they enter the mainland?
Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
The noble Baroness is right that there are risks to undersea cables. I shall have to come back to her on the precise discussions that we have had with Ireland, as I am not completely up to speed with those, but it is something that we are very well aware of in general. We have taken forward a lot of discussions with industry and others about it.
