The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of cyber safety laws on the use of AI.

Answered by Feryal Clark

Artificial Intelligence is a vital technology and is at the heart of the government’s economic growth plans. AI safety has been a vital part of the government’s work since the AI Safety Summit.

DSIT is working to address cyber risks to AI and recently consulted on a Code of Practice setting baseline security requirements for AI systems. This will be the basis of a global standard. DSIT will respond in 2025.

Government has also published a cyber security risk assessment on AI and other related research.
