Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the renewed UK-Canada AI security partnership announced on 13 October 2026 includes arrangements for the AI Security Institute and the Canadian AI Safety Institute to share results of pre-deployment evaluations.

The renewed UK-Canada AI security partnership is one of many steps the Government is taking to strengthen the UK’s resilience against the risks posed by increasingly powerful AI. Our renewed partnership will strengthen institutional links and knowledge-sharing between the UK AI Security Institute and the Canadian AI Safety Institute. Under the agreement, the UK and Canada will enhance information-sharing arrangements, and establish regular exchanges on frontier AI capabilities, emerging risks, evaluation methodologies and best practice. The UK’s insights into these matters are informed by AISI’s pre-deployment evaluations.
