Matt Rodda
Shadow Minister (AI and Intellectual Property)
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she has set a deadline by which her Department must take steps once a risk is added to the AI risk register.
Saqib Bhatti
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
The appropriate mitigation plan for any risk depends on the nature of the risk itself.
DSIT’s Central AI Risk Function owns the AI Risk Register and is responsible for the processes by which we identify, assess and prepare for AI risks.
Mitigating these risks is a cross-Government effort and in many cases DSIT is not the lead Department or Risk Owner. We work extremely closely with other government departments, agencies and regulators to ensure we are preparing for these risks in a timely manner.
