Artificial Intelligence: Regulation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will establish mandatory pre-deployment testing requirements for AI companies.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The most advanced AI systems bring huge opportunities but also new and amplified risks. This is why the Government will bring forward AI legislation to safely realise AI’s massive potential and deliver on our manifesto commitment.

This is also why the work of the AI Security Institute (AISI) is so important. AISI is committed to rigorous, scientific research into the most advanced AI models – testing the most advanced AI models from leading AI labs, and equipping government with an empirical understanding of the most serious AI risks.
