Artificial Intelligence: Israel
Asked by: Anum Qaisar (Scottish National Party - Airdrie and Shotts) Thursday 25th April 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether any UK-based artificial intelligence companies have export licenses to Israel. Answered by Alan Mak - Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology We continue to monitor the situation in Israel and Gaza closely. The UK has not granted any export licences to UK-based AI companies to export to Israel.
All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. The UK operates one of the most robust and transparent export control regimes in the world. |
Arms Trade: Export Controls
Asked by: Anum Qaisar (Scottish National Party - Airdrie and Shotts) Thursday 25th April 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether export control licensing requirements for AI weapons systems include checks on the (a) accuracy and (b) reliability of those systems. Answered by Alan Mak - Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology HM Government takes its export control responsibilities very seriously and we operate one of the most robust and transparent export control regimes in the world. This is an important lever for promoting both UK prosperity and national and global security.
We rigorously assess every application on a case-by-case basis against strict assessment criteria, the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria (the SELC).
The SELC provide a thorough risk assessment framework for export licence applications and require us to think hard about the impact of providing equipment and its capabilities. We will not license the export of equipment where to do so would be inconsistent with the SELC. These are not decisions we take lightly. |

Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development) We continue to monitor the issue of unresolved Bedouin land claims, and unrecognised Bedouin villages, in the Negev/Naqab region, and lack of basic services. We continue to encourage the Israeli authorities and Bedouin communities to engage in dialogue to agree a satisfactory solution to the issue, respecting the rights of the people affected. |
