Government Departments: ICT
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she is working on a common definition of technology, AI and digital sovereignty for use a) within her department b) across government.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
This is a highly complex and evolving policy area with no single internationally agreed definition. Countries use the term differently depending on their economic, security, resilience and diplomatic priorities. As this is an area of policy that covers numerous UK interests, we are working through the issues involved, both within DSIT and across government.
