Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to enhance support for cyber crime agencies in combating the misuse of artificial intelligence.

We are determined to keep the public and businesses safe from the ever-evolving threat of cyber crime, and other online crimes, including where criminals seek to do harm by exploiting artificial intelligence.

HMG will continue to ensure that Law Enforcement have the capabilities they need to tackle the perpetrators of cyber crime, including where perpetrators exploit the use of artificial intelligence, while working closely with international partners and in partnership with the tech industry to build resilience and protect UK public and businesses.

We will continue to ensure we work with partners to understand the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and how that may change, while pursuing cyber criminals, and working with industry to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
