AI: Cross-sector Legislation

Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Tuesday 29th April 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Baker of Dorking (Con)]

My Lords—

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

Can we hear from the noble Lord, Lord Lansley?

[Lord Lansley (Con)]

I am grateful. I draw the House’s attention to my register of interests. Is it the Government’s intention to use the powers in the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, when enacted, to bring in product requirements based on ISO 42001 relating to AI governance, as a mechanism to bring us some degree of AI assurance through regulation?
