It was very interesting on Friday morning last week in the House of Lords on 22nd March that there was a discussion of the Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill [HL] and one of the people who took part in the discussion was Fiona Twycross who is a Labour member of the Oxford area. During her significant comment she introduced the involvement of a Hove person so here is that item of her discussion. It would be very interesting to see who she is referring to. The location can be seen below or it can be found on here.

The honourable Member for Hove, the shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, outlined Labour’s plans recently at techUK’s annual conference. He said:

“Businesses need fast, clear and consistent regulation … that … does not unnecessarily slow down innovation”— a point reflected in comments by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas. We also need regulation that encourages risk taking and finding new ways of working. We need regulation that addresses the concerns and protects the privacy of the public.

As my noble friend Lord Chandos said, the UK also needs to address concerns about misinformation and disinformation, not least in instances where these are democratic threats. This point was also reflected by the noble Lords, Lord Vaizey and Lord Fairfax.
