Written Answers
Artificial Intelligence: Risk Assessment Asked by: Lord McNicol of West Kilbride (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 18th December 2024 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to introduce the cross-sector AI risk register announced by the previous government on 6 February; if so, when; and if not, what steps they are taking to monitor AI risks. Answered by Lord Vallance of Balham - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) In Autumn 2023, DSIT set up the Central AI Risk Function (CAIRF), which brings together policymakers and AI experts with a mission to continuously identify, assess and prepare for risks associated with AI. One of the CAIRF's critical responsibilities is to develop and maintain the UK Government’s AI Risk Register. The register was introduced in 2023 and identifies individual risks associated with AI that could impact the UK spanning national security, the economy and society. This Government is considering how best to engage the wider public on our understanding of AI risks.
Artificial Intelligence: EU Law Asked by: Lord McNicol of West Kilbride (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 10th December 2024 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the financial impact on the economy of regulatory divergence between the United Kingdom and the European Union following the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). Answered by Lord Vallance of Balham - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Government is committed to establishing appropriate rules on those working to develop the most powerful artificial intelligence models. Our proposals will be highly targeted and will enhance safety. They will also support growth and innovation by ending regulatory uncertainty for AI developers, strengthening public trust, and boosting business confidence. The Government carefully considers the impact of potential regulatory barriers on the economy and UK businesses, including in relation to international trade and market barriers, and will set out further details of our approach in due course.
