Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the regulation of artificial intelligence use; and what plans they have, if any, to introduce a regulatory body for artificial intelligence.

Most AI systems should be regulated at point of use, and our expert regulators are best placed to do this. In response to the AI Action Plan, the Government has committed to supporting regulators in evaluating their AI capabilities and understanding how these can be strengthened.

The Government is also developing legislative proposals which will allow us to safely realise the enormous benefits of the most powerful AI systems.

We look forward to engaging further with the full range of stakeholders on our legislative proposals in due course including how we can best establish appropriate oversight where regulatory requirements apply.
