Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the cybersecurity risks arising from the deployment of advanced or autonomous AI systems with significant access to the data of businesses and public sector organisations.

We're confident that AI will bring huge benefits to businesses and public sector organisations.

Last year the government published the AI Cyber Security Code of Practice which sets out measures to address cyber security risks to AI systems.

Organisations which develop and deploy AI systems should use this code to protect our citizens and our digital economy, while ensuring the many benefits of AI can be realised

To complement this, the AI Security Institute conducts research on the risks posed by frontier AI, including cyber offensive capabilities. The Institute shares insights with Government security organisations, including the National Cyber Security Centre, to ensure the Government can plan for serious AI impacts.
