Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to counteract AI-generated disinformation ahead of future elections, including what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of current AI labelling requirements, and whether they will publish that assessment before the next scheduled national poll.

Government recognises the challenges AI-generated content online, including deepfakes, can pose to democratic processes.

Under the Online Safety Act (OSA), in-scope services must assess and mitigate the risk of illegal content, including where it is AI-generated, and take appropriate action to remove it.

We continue to explore technical solutions to support the transparency of AI-generated content, including through the Deepfake Detection Challenge and the AI Labelling Taskforce, which will put forward proposals for government on best practice for labelling AI-generated content.
