The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to introduce an AI risk register.

Answered by Feryal Clark

In Autumn 2023, DSIT set up the Central AI Risk Function (CAIRF), which brings together policymakers and AI experts with a mission to continuously identify, assess and prepare for risks associated with AI. One of the CAIRF's critical responsibilities is to develop and maintain the UK Government’s AI Risk Register. The register was introduced in 2023 and identifies individual risks associated with AI that could impact the UK spanning national security, the economy and society. The register helps the Government track these risks and reduce their impact and likelihood.
