Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of current risk modelling for frontier AI systems.

The AI Security Institute was established to deepen our understanding of frontier AI risks.

The Institute works with the national security community and government experts to ensure AI technology delivers on its potential for UK growth, while working with companies to assess and manage the potential risks this technology poses.

The Institute’s role is also to ensure AI risk evaluation and understanding is more scientifically rigorous and reliable.

Advancing the scientific field of AI safety will help the UK ensure it has the best evidence available to navigate the uncertain trajectories that advanced AI could take.
