Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking (1) to regulate, and (2) to encourage investment and innovation in the AI sector.

We are committed to building an AI sector that can scale and win globally, ensuring conditions are right for global AI companies to want to call the UK home. The AI Opportunities Action Plan will outline how we achieve this by securing the necessary infrastructure, talent and data access, and detailing steps to support adoption across the economy.

In the King’s Speech we committed to introducing new, binding and highly targeted requirements on the handful of companies developing the most advanced AI models. They will support growth and innovation by reducing uncertainty for AI developers and boosting public trust.
