Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that AI regulation does not create a digital border between (1) the UK and the EU, and (2) the UK and Northern Ireland.

Government is committed to building a regulatory regime that is proportionate and keeps pace with new advancements and risks. This includes delivering on our manifesto commitment to place new binding requirements on the developers of powerful models. It also means ensuring UK regulators have the right resources to effectively regulate AI in their respective domains.

AI knows no borders and through international cooperation, we can make progress towards ensuring effective global AI collaboration. The UK will continue to work closely with international partners, building on the work of existing multilateral and multistakeholder initiatives to achieve this critical objective.
