2026-04-13 Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Employment
My Lords, I declare my technology interests as set out in the register. We should be cautious about the assumption that improved AI skills alone will enable job seekers to adapt to a changing labour market. The misapplication of AI in recruitment often g
2026-03-17 Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026
My Lords, I too thank the Minister for introducing these regulations. I note that he is having a spectacularly busy day. Clearly, these regulations are essentially technical in nature, as the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, said, but they play an importa
2026-03-11 EU Digital Services Act and Regulation
My Lords, many digital harms such as disinformation and illegal or fraudulent content operate across borders. In that light, can the Minister enlarge on the practical measures the Government are pursuing with the European Union to assure effective cross
2026-03-11 UK Space Economy
My Lords, events in Ukraine and Iran are showing the growing military defence importance of satellite communication, navigation and earth observation systems. Given our strengths here in the UK in satellite manufacture and space data services, does the M
2026-02-25 AI: Labour Market Changes
My Lords, the misguided use of AI in the recruiting marketplace is deeply and unnecessarily disruptive. Mass automation of largely synthetic job applications means that there are far too many applications for most jobs, often by tens of thousands. These
2026-02-24 Quantum Technology
My Lords, to build on the important point raised by the noble Lord, Lord Birt, quantum technologies will at some point, probably soon, enable a huge range of new capabilities across our lives, including in defence, healthcare, commerce and scientific res
2026-02-04 Public Order Act 2023 (Interference With Use or Operation of Key National Infrastructure) Regulations 2025
I had planned to make a number of points in this debate, but I am pleased to see that they have all been made for me in far more elegant style than I could have attained myself. I will emphasise one point that has not had quite enough attention yet, and
2026-01-26 Superintelligent AI
My Lords, I want to build on the very important point raised by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt. Given that AI research and development can be conducted, in effect, anywhere, regulation of the development of superintelligent AI is going to have to be global. D
2026-01-14 Social Media: Non-consensual Sexual Deepfakes
My Lords, the technological capabilities and their misuse that have prompted this Statement are, needless to say, deeply disturbing and demand our careful attention. The use of AI to generate non-consensual sexual imagery of women and children is both gr
2026-01-08 AI Systems: Risks
I join noble Lords in thanking my noble friend Lord Fairfax for securing the debate and for speaking so powerfully, as ever, on the subject. When I attended my first university course on AI in 1999, AGI was more a theoretical thought experiment than a
2025-12-15 Technology Adoption Review
I draw noble Lords’ attention to my technology interests, as set out in the register. What assessment have the Government made of the critique of the CBI and others that their technology adoption plans are too fragmented? Does the Minister agree that, wi
2025-12-15 UK Research and Innovation: Ethnic Minorities
My Lords, I am sure all noble Lords would agree that, whatever the merits of diversity in its own right, it cannot be a substitute for academic excellence. If so, does the Minister accept, in this light, that the more research funding is seen to be grant
2025-12-10 Children: Social Media
My Lords, screen addiction is a growing problem for all ages, but far more so for children. In July, Peter Kyle, the former Secretary of State for DSIT, committed to bringing forward proposals in the autumn to restrict children’s screen time. Since the r
2025-12-09 Mobile Phone and Broadband Prices
My Lords, in May, the Vodafone-Three merger was completed, reducing the number of mobile operators in the country from four to three. Building on the question from my noble friend Lord Vaizey, six months on from the merger, what is the Government’s asses
2025-12-04 Online Safety Act 2023 (Priority Offences) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
I am particularly interested in whether it is a legitimate defence for a platform to say, “We could not have prevented this access because a VPN was in use”, and therefore whether it falls to the platforms themselves to figure out how to prevent abuse vi
2025-12-04 Online Safety Act 2023 (Priority Offences) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
My Lords, as we have heard, this instrument amends Schedule 7 to the Online Safety Act 2023 to add cyber flashing and content encouraging self-harm to the list of priority offences. I thank the Minister for setting out some of the most alarming facts and
2025-11-17 Artificial Intelligence Legislation
My Lords, in September the Government announced plans for a national digital identity system—a policy that will have very profound implications for the safe use of AI, particularly agentic AI. Can the Minister confirm that the interaction between the Gov
2025-11-03 AI: Workforce Training
My Lords, I draw attention to my interest as a director of Lumi Network, as set out in the register. Whether someone is building or using AI, it is far from clear that there is a finite set of teachable skills that keeps them productive in the workplace,
2025-10-30 Protection of Children Codes of Practice
My Lords, not much we debate in your Lordships’ House unites us so thoroughly as our shared recognition that children must be protected from harmful online content and behaviours. I am delighted that we are as one when it comes to the importance of shiel
2025-10-21 Amazon Web Services
My Lords, I feel that I am a member of a large club, as I too submitted an identical PNQ. I note that the whole House will have been deeply concerned by this outage. Although, indeed, it does not appear to have been caused by a cyber or other malicious a
2025-10-14 Digital ID
My Lords, we unequivocally oppose the Government’s dangerous mandatory digital ID policy, both in principle and in practice. If it is allowed to become legislation, the electorate risks being subjected to an extraordinary expansion of state power, one th
2025-09-08 Online Safety Act 2023 (Qualifying Worldwide Revenue) Regulations 2025
My Lords, this statutory instrument forms a key part of the regulatory framework underpinning the Online Safety Act 2023, a significant and necessary piece of legislation that forms part of my party’s legacy in government. I am very proud of the small co
2025-09-03 Open Artificial Intelligence Service
My Lords, to build on the excellent question of my noble friend Lord Holmes, I was concerned this morning to be presented with some research to the effect that Britons are among the most nervous about AI of any population. To what does the Minister attri
2025-09-01 Civil Service: Artificial Intelligence Productivity Gains
My Lords, in May, the Government announced a rightly ambitious plan to drive tens of billions of pounds per year in Civil Service productivity savings through AI. In June, they estimated that use of AI tools was saving civil servants 26 minutes a day. Ev
2025-09-01 Civil Service: Artificial Intelligence Productivity Gains
