Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government who will represent them at the forthcoming Ministerial on Freedom of Religion or Belief, being held in Berlin; and how they intend to engage with the theme of the conference: The Implications of Artificial intelligence for Freedom of Religion or Belief.

FCDO officials responsible for freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) policy, attended the entirety of the Ministerial Conference on Freedom of Religion or Belief, in Berlin 9-11 October. Following the conference, we will build on discussions focused on the implications of artificial intelligence for FoRB. The use of AI presents both opportunities and risks for the enjoyment of human rights. It is important that we champion the positive potential of AI, whilst taking action to mitigate risks. We will do this by working with international partners and through multilateral fora including the UN and regional organisations.
