Peter Kyle reacts to Rishi Sunak's AI speech today

Peter Kyle MP, Labour’s Shadow Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary, reacting to the Prime Minister’s speech on artificial intelligence today, said:

''Artificial intelligence is already having huge benefits for Britain, and the potential of this next generation of AI could be endless, but it poses risks as well. Safety must come first to prevent this technology getting out of control. 

“Rishi Sunak should back up his words with action and publish the next steps on how we can ensure the public is protected. We are still yet to see concrete proposals on how the government is going to regulate the most powerful AI models.

“A Labour government would set clear standards for AI safety, so that this leading tech can be used to restore our public services and boost growth. Labour would use AI to better diagnose diseases, put more money in people’s pockets and help build a better Britain.”
