To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to recommendation 5 in his Department's policy paper entitled AI Opportunities Action Plan: government response, published on 13 January 2025, what steps he plans to take to ensure the secure use of AI infrastructure while protecting users' privacy.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Government is delivering on its commitment to secure AI infrastructure through the designation of UK data centres as Critical National Infrastructure and the creation of AI Growth Zones to fast-track development. Alongside this, with the fast growth of the UK’s AI sector, the National Data Library will provide trusted data foundations needed to support the delivery of a modern digital economy and the Government’s Plan for Change, AI Opportunities Action Plan, and Blueprint for Modern Digital Government. These measures ensure that AI infrastructure is both resilient and trusted, supporting innovation while protecting the public’s privacy.
