The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of requiring all communication produced by genAI chatbots in professional settings to be labelled as such.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan

The government continues to explore the feasibility of technical solutions for the identification of AI-generated content to support transparency.

It can be helpful for consumers to understand whether content has been made using AI. We will establish a task force to put forward proposals for government on best practice for labelling AI-generated content, with an interim report to be published in autumn.
